I think your front arms are upside down?

I think that could be it. It looks funky sitting like that. I know the 10.2 has gullwing arms but they are not sitting the way they're supposed to.

They're on just fine, but the original sc10 used flat arms and the sc10.2 has "gull wing" arms. Since the arm dips down, your shocks are too short now. You'll need sc10.2 shocks, might get away with just new shafts but I'm not sure.

That's what I was missing lol, the shock length.

I think Anthony is right about the shocks. Yours do look a bit shorter than what the pictures for the sc10.2 show on Associated's website.

No, same shocks.. it's all in the shock tower.. for gullwing arms you need a wider shock tower that stands the shocks up more.. you have the gullwing correct..

Trust me, i've wrenched a ton on SC10 & 10.2's

well since I've never worked on an SC10 I'll take your word for it lol. The towers do look different between the two. And the stock locations for each are vastly different so that makes sense.

I've never seen a 10.2 up close but it's good to know now in case I ever convert mine over. I may even go to gull wing with the standard tower to get the truck down to astroturf height, only way I could do that before was with buggy shocks lol.

That's one I can't answer.. Haven't ever ran any mounts other then the stock versions.. maybe you can tell from pics or manuals? Associated's website has full pdf's of the sc10 & 10.2 manuals as well as pretty detailed pics..
