Looks good, I've been thinking about those arms but I haven't gotten and wobble since I actually set my toe correctly
 
You guys :haha:

Got my crossover on :woot:


PAIN IN BUTT.


back from before....
PO had o ring on steering box line, so i couldnt use the flare box i got orig for crossover.... so i swapped guts and kept old box

So pressure line had a leak so i decided to replace it. Got an o ring line and went to stick it on. It had the freaking flare fitting at the pump!!!! ugggg i was pissed. So instead of doing it the right way, he had a custom line made. Glad i didnt find that out in the middle of nowere.

So i went to the junkyard and got an o ring nut thing for the back of the pump and got that all buttoned up.

Then the return line had a pinhole in it from when i moved it out of the way...... So i cut it right off the box and then ran a new soft line to pump. Blahh fluid all over driveway.

It juuuuuuussst squeezes in between the crossmember. Tested it to full bump. I will prob clearance the front of it, actually nevermind i will just make a new one.

Drives SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nice now. No bumpsteer, turns great lock to lock.








I have never seen a set screw for the kingpin that long before. Is it tightened down? Mine only has about 1/2" sticking out, Yours looks like there is a lot sticking out. I could be wrong though.

Looks good!

Are you missing the zerk fitting on your draglink?

The set screw was loooooooooooooooooooong. like 3 inches lol. I was thinking of cutting it off, but then i have to put the snazzy taper on the bottom to fit in the washer, so i just said f it.

And yeah i didnt stick the zerk in that TRE yet.
 
Ohhhh yeahhh..... Im gonna try and steal the video cam too. i want a comparison vid of the short line i did when on 36's



Lets hope the bumpstops work.... LOL
