the high steer is new using an old tie rod?
The tie rod was way over built by coop. But because of the ballistic fab high steer arms being closer in then the stock 44 arms it had to be cut down. The drag link had barely enough play that I could suck the tre's in enough to make it fit.
i dont think there is such a thing as an overbuilt low mounted tie rod.
well than, its more then enough for high steer now.
I flexed it out a bit. I also bought new shocks for the rear, rancho 5008's. I've got 9" of travel in the rear and 13" in front.
i'm going to build my ant-wrap bar this week and have it all figured out but i'm torn on what two ideas to go with.
the first is 2 bushings at the axle with a 3/4" tractor heim at the lower link of the 4" shackle and another poly bushing at the top end. Constructed from 1.25" schedule 80. Pretty straight forward.
the second is a little more creative. It still uses bushings at the axle end but instead of using a heim for the rotational force and a shackle for the wheel base change when under flex it uses a sleeved style bar. The female part of the bar would be 1.25" sched. 80 and the male end would be 1.25" solid bar.
What are peoples opinions about these two set ups, they seem equally priced and to produce with identical results on axle wrapping.
I can almost garauntee you that the sleeve idea will bend at the intersection of the inner nad outter tubes. You need to get the lower tube as close as possible to the pivot to avoid bending. Use a heim or johnny joint at the top of the shackle on the frame side and bushings every where else.
New stuff. Moved the front shackles 1" forward, so I had to make new bumper mounting points. New bumpstops in rear the front are on there way. New 1/2" spring plates and u-bolts. Hardware for the anti-wrap bar.
anti-wrap
ruff stuff
the antiwrap stuff yes the spring plates no. Does any one have any thoughts about the ant-wrap bars?
yah i broke a yoke and u-joint on the rear axle the last 47 trip.
