The idea for posting this pic was derived from the daily topic, but I thought I'd post it seperately so I could get some feedback from you guys. I'm posting a few so there's a clear picture of what I'm doing.

Sorry about the white area, I'm at home and don't have the sweet graphic design resources as I do at work.:(

If anyone wants to fix them feel free.:emb4:

It's sweet how all of my post have like 2-5 responses right away. ALL from me:rolleyes: :rasta:

Is that the stock draglink and tie rod, or custom?

Won't that hit the spring? Just do the high steer, it's not that much more work :rolleyes:

I'm not sure. I designed it when I had my coil springs on my Balzer and decided since I already spent the money on it, I'm gonna try to make it work on my scout. I don't have flat top knuckes so Hy-steer or a regular Crossover would be abig project for me right now.


Stock TR and DL....

No they're a rockstomper double sleeved set with High angle TRE's for a dodge.:usa:

I think with your mount way out to the side like that from the tie rod that it may cause the tie rod to pivot on the tie rod ends. This would cause slop in the steering.
Could you cut it down and bring it in a bit closer?
Looks like nice craftsmanship.:)

Do you mean front to back pivot?? I actually doesn't pivot front to back AT ALL!! I worked really well on my blazer (better than my stock scout set-up works :eek: ) and i've seen it work well on a hard core HEEP.

But I will defintely be looking out for any problems if I end up being able to use this style. I designed it myself so I'm REALLY hoping to use it. (PS: it was really CHEAP $$-wise; like $40, not including the heavy duty TR AND DL)

Thanks. I'm hoping if it contacts the spring I will be able to just "trim" a little off of the angled side to clearance it. But being that it will be on a full width axle I'm hoping it clears.

I think it would definitely Contact the spring then.

I wouldn’t mind seeing it mocked up on your truck. The block does seem pretty tall but I guess it would hold, might have some twisting action on the tie rod? Only one way to find out!:confused:
