Crossover drag link question.

[handloader90]

Going to order some stuff for my crossover steering within the next few days and figured I would ask what would be best, a straight draglink or one with a bend in it?

D60 Axle, DIY4X B52's and 52" springs up front.

I'm thinking the bent drag link may be better for the DLE angles (when flexed) and to keep the drag link out of the x-member.

What say you?

Imo, this ^^

Yep, my Drag link has a drop in it.

x4, running 4" super lift springs with a bent draglink. No issues with spring clearance or engine crossmember.

Bent drag link it is.

Depends how thick the leaf pack is. With my ORDs and a ZeroRate my straight draglink gets a little close with the passenger side drooped. It might contact if the draglink were bent.

Food for thought. I'm only running 4" lift in front with 1" block.

The 52" springs I have up front right now have 5 leaves + the overload. I plan on pulling the overload and adding 2-3 leaves in its place which should put me about 3/8" or so thicker than what it is now.

I'm not planning on using an Ez-Inch up front.

The front sits a little higher than the rear right now but I plan on adding leaves to the rear spring pack to even it out.

I was planning on using the stock engine crossmember when I drop my 6.0 LS engine in and using the poly clamshell bushings vs getting ORD's high clearance crossmember. I think I would be able to take care of any issues through the drag link vs. buying a drag link and a new crossmember.
