Just something thjat I remembered-Heidt's haqs control arms that are 5/8 inch shorter than stock-----would that have solved your ??????

Moving the top bracket inward is going to effect the spring/shock angles

Jerry, I have the 5/8" narrowed arms already. Unfortunately, I just had the upper towers too far out. You're right, moving the towers in much more and spring fitment could be an issue. Hopefully tomorrow I can take some time and work on it some more. This morning I spent trying to get some stuff wrapped up on the blue ford because it is supposed to rain for the next few days. It's always something.

I did get my brothers to go help me get my rear end out of my storage box though. That's a plus. The axles feel like there may be a posi inside it. I sure hope so. Those sure have gone up in price lately.

I didn't get much time at all to work on the car. But, this morning I did get the LH upper tower set in place and tacked. I have plenty of adjustment for camber, caster, and my anti dive is right on. Now to match the RH side to the LH side.
