Who's running crossover steering on their D60 and zero rates? I was just placing an order from ORD today and I got this crazy idea that I might want to move my axle forward so I ordered a set of zero rates. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif Realizing that the steering arm is still going to be bolted to the knuckle, this is going to reduce clearance.

Any issues with you guys?

Can anybody give me a guess as to how long the passenger side u bolt will need to be? I know its 4" diameter, but with the 60 having a huge pumpkin, the superlift springs I have being thick, and the zero rates, can anyone give me an approximation so I can have the spring shop make me one?

I made a post about this with a D44 a few weeks ago and I couldn't really get a yes or no. I am just waiting till I bolt it up, and if it has clearance issues then I guess I'll buy a spacer.

As for the U-bolt do you have an inch or more of threads left stickin out? If so you should be ok. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif If not just measure yours and add an inch /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
 
Yeah I just found your post with a search but its for 44/10 bolt stuff.

I'm installing my '60 this weekend as well as the zero rate so I need a new u bolt and I just want to make sure it's going to be long enough.

I'm so exited about this weekend. Crossover and '60 are going in. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
works fine for me. Axle is forward an inch also,

Cool, that's pretty much why I ordered the zero rates, plus i'm a little ass-high.

How long is your passenger side u bolt? Is 8" enough? Too long?
 
Thanks so much guys, 9" it is. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

9/16 or 5/8 by 4" by 9" right?
 
Mine are home made (like most of my stuff) but it works out fine for me. My offset plates (zero-rates, whatever) are only 1/2 thick and offset 2", but I have no clearance issues.
 
It would be nice to see some before/after pics!!!Crossover is definatly on my list of things to do as well..... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gifhp
 
I've got the camera charged, trust me. this is going to be an event. I've had this damn axle for 7 months now!!
