So a buddy of mine needs new steering because he's are all bent up. I'm thinking of making a tie rod & drag link using chevy 1 ton TRE's and mounting them on top of the knuckle instead of below. He is currently running a D30 will eventually swap it for a D44. I have the tapered reamer I used on my high steer set up can the knuckle be tapered that direction? Is the taper for the stock EB setup small enough to do this to? Thanks, my search on this topic took so long I gave up.
I did pretty much the same thing he wants to do. Except I have a EB D44 with 79 knuckle out to convert to disk. All I had to do was ream the knuckles from the top and use 2 of these bushings. http://bcbroncos.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=37_82&products_id=96
Not the greatest pic
the es2026 and es 2027 came on 1/2 ton 3/4 ton and 1 ton draglink ends
the es2233 and es2234 are 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton tie rod ends
it sells better when you call it "one ton" so they lie
Exact setup is under my rig, EB44 with 79 F150 knuckles out, no inserts or bushings. Still need to raise the bottom trac bar mount though.
