52's in Front and Steering

[nvrenuf]

How far is enough / too much?

I know the 52's will push the axle 2" forward, is it worth it do go for another inch with a Zero Rate?

How does the push forward effect crossover steering? How far can you go and retain a front mounted drag link?

I moved an extra inch foreward, no negative effects with my cross over. I did have to lose my inner fenders and slightly trim the core support. Instead of a zero rate, I drilled another hole in the spring pad and in the spring plate to gain the extra inch. .

Thanks Thor!

I see you run foty-toos , how much lift?

About 5". It sat level with 6" tc ezrides. Front is a little lower with the 52's. Going to pull a leaf or 2 in the rear to bring it down when I get my ladder bar made.

I moved my axle forward 4.5". The pitman arm's TRE sits right between the U-bolts on the spring plate. There's also a heck of an angle between the pitman arm and the steering arm on the opposite side.
