Thunderbird will do just fine.
can't weld them up and taper them farther apart?
maybe, just seems kind of ghetto, but I guess it would work. (have you seen the rest of my truck!)

did you know i tapered one of my arms on the wrong side so i welded it up and tapered it on the other side........... don't know if you don't tell
yeah, but your jeep is a pile anyway!! I'll think about it, but drilling and tapering probably happens on $50,000 machines at your place right? I have a 1952 drill press, pretty sure that is a good recipe for fawking something up. Right now we're taking all the crap off of mine and trying to get Fred's to work again, then I will figure out wtf to do with mine. I'm going to take my time and not stress about it though. It becomes less enjoyable to work on when you stress about ****.

yeah, things become a lot less enjoyable to work on especially when you have two daily driven vehicles' a/c compressors blow up in the same week. It really doesn't motivate you to want to work on much else.

your box is full freddy.
4runner has clear title. everything looks to be in good shape cept the dash and it just needs to be put back together. id drive it if i felt like replacing a head gasket. it looks better than my truck.
Flemco is going to drill/taper two more holes in the first set of arms I got and hopefully this will work with the Wagoneer arm. I'm attempting to get it all together for the redenck run since my motorcycle went to Missouri. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually be able to steer a truck off-road.

Well the shakedown run was down the street at 2 am, a donut out in a field, and back to the house onto the trailer. The PSC stuff is all mounted up minus the ram part. It steers f'n great, I hope it continues this greatness. AN fittings are expensive. ($17
for a 90 deg. into a hose barb deal)
I also installed my super cool rearview mirror (a big blind spot mirror mounted on the door frame) Also, my CD player started working again for no reason, woo-hoo!!

I decided to go ahead and get the ram on there before the trip. I scratched my head for a little while tonight and decided on top of the spring plate will be the only suitable spot to mount the axle end. If it was foolsize it would be easier. I don't like that idea, but it's the only solution. I'm going to make a brace that bolts to the spring plate to help reinforce it. It think it will be ok. Pics to follow.

is there room to mount it between the knuckle and spring plate?
If not, do you think you could weld tubes to the axle for the ubolts to pass through? I'd be worried about drivers side center pin
...
I'd have to make some crazy ass tower that wraps around the front of the axle or something because the shock is mounted there behind it.Originally Posted by robertf03
Here's my engineering drawing.
red=spring pack
black lines= axle tube
blue lines = my high clearance spring plates flipped upside down so they kind of wrap the pack.
The green is the gusset for the plate that will go just under the side of the spring plate and bolt to it with a couple of bolts to keep it from going side to side. I'll cut an access hole in that plate to get the bolts in and out.
I don't see how it can't work!!
I can take some pics and get ideas if you guys want, I don't know how else to make it work, it's very tight with the tie rod up high like that.
