i just moved my axel forward two inches and used my rear springs on the front. now my drag link is too long. does anyone know how to make a shorter one or could post some pictures of a dropped draglink.

i was thinking about taking it to school and heating it up with the oxy unit. and then bending it down at an 45 degree angle and then back straight at another 45 degree and so it would be dropped and shorter with out any new welds.

how does that sound? any other ideas?:usa:

i'd do crossover steering but i am a little broke right now.:flipoff2:

thanks:zzz:

a dropped dragling will work, its not the best way but alot of people use them or have used them till they got the money for high steer. i used to run one on a d44 in my yj. if the bends are real slight then they wont need to be reinforced but if your gonna put sever bends in it yah better weld gussets to support the bends
