Default making the older DS narrow?

Anybody using 04-05 upper and lower control a-arms to narrow it up? How about the rear axle?

I believe only the rear axle is a little narrower on the 04-05 models. Front A-arm width should be the same for all years.

Less wheel offset might be a better route than swapping out suspension parts.

The hubs are different as well.

Ahhh. See when I ordered my OMF/Douglas wheels with Razr 2's, I told the guy (Bones) about my concerns for width and that I thought I needed an off-set wheel . He said "No, there will be no difference." Well there is a difference. Now my front end is 50" wide. I was barely squeezing through the tight woods as it was stock. Now it's 1" wider. You might say Hmm 1" is nothing. Trust me, it might as well be 1 foot!
Oh well. I am just fishing for ideas to narrow. I might have to eat some you know what to get what I need. These wheels and tires have 1-1/2 hrs on them. I need to get rid of them and get the off-set.
Thanks
