| I have the beanie boy kit and Jamar rear disc and we had to cut the corner off the trailing arm to get clearance for the rear bolt connectting the bracket to the caliper. We cut it as a triangle off the corner and fit and welded a plate on it. We also had to get a spacer from Moore parts to get the caliper in line. We are doing final assembly today and will post results. |

We found that mounting the caliper bracket and the caliper upside down cleared the 3x3.
Anyway thanks for the help guys.

Do you mean the caliper is at the bottom, or 6 o'clock position? If so I would be worried about the caliper getting hit by rocks or other ground clearance issues...

The caliper will actually be at 4 o clock but running the 35" tyres it is still a long way up.
And over here in the UK ours are all street buggies as we have nowhere to drive them off road. |

We have alot of sex 
Yes the bleed valve will be the wrong way up. You just bleed the caliper before mounting. Not a problem and often done on custom cars. |
