    All, for those who have 17x7 wheels up front, were there any mods that needed (mandatory) to be completed to avoid having issues with anything? I just need to know if a 1" drop on the upper control arm is needed, thanks.

    nope nothing I needed to change
    just make sure you have the right backspacing and offset.
