Home made cross over drag link made, now I need to ream the hole for a TRE.
Ok I got it mocked up. Everything measures correct right now too.
Tomorrow I will come up with some mounts for the ram, and throw some paint at it.
hell yea man!! I want to check it out
I threw on the XJ shaft and called it a day.

Good morning pics.
I'm sipping coffee and thinkin'.
Why not box the stabilizer mount?
I was just thinking about how to mount the ram. I cut the OE stabilizer off. Any ideas?
Edit: Like this guy.

I don't like the way the ram isn't mounted parallel with the tie rod. Because the geometry will change to much through the stroke. Just my .02
Mine will be.
I'm taking a lot of time making sure everything is parallel and measures the same as before I started.

Oh then perfect
I am going to copy the stock stabilizer mounting dimensions.
It is on a level plain to the drag link but the mount was not perfectly parallel between the drag link and the axle. I figure on the mounting tab I will go about 2" out to the edge of mounting the hole on each side. It will be better than OEM.
Stand by...
Ram mounting tabs made from scratch.

I would like to hit the trail with Superbro before he ships out on Halloween.
There is some talk about going to Truckhaven on Turkey Day.
I don't really have any plans so I figured it was time for an upgrade.
Good stuff paul 
is Truckhaven next to Salton Sea? Salton City?
