Just getting my 2017 G4 up and running after my roll over, had a shop install the SATV high clearance arms with 31x10x14 Hammer Moto tires, machine looks great but I just noticed the spacing between the tires and the machine. I am NO alignment man so I have no idea what to do to adjust this. I know the pivot blocks will adjust camber but not sure what is going on here.... I am sure someone (Pirate) will know what I need to do.

Well it is obvious that they did not know how to set up them either. if you look at the arms the end that is attaches to the frame the ends will be adjustable. they should have measured from the center of the mount to the center of the ball joint of the stock arm and set the new ones up with that measurement installed and then set alignment. looks like they just eye balled them and installed you will have to remove them and start over. Do you still have the stock arms?

Camber is the amount of degrees that the tire and wheel is tilted in or out at the top of the wheel in relation to the bottom of the tire. you want neg. camber about 5 to 7 deg. Caster is the amount of angle that the spindle has in relation to the vertical centerline of the wheel. you will want 1 to 3 deg. neg. for norm riding

It's a shame that nothing is done right in today's world. If I was you, I would find the shop owner and ask his thoughts and see if he cares about piss poor workmanship leaving his shop. Like the saying says, "if you want it done right, do it youself."

Sorry that you had to pay for this issue. Sad...
