tell me what you think.


I think it looks like an inverted T steering setup, and your pumpkin's on the wrong side. :flipoff2: :mrgreen: ...damn, we really need that flipoff icon on this site. :D

what parts did you use for the steering...give us some specs/details. looks good though, about what i'd like mine to look like when i'm done.

i bought a reamer from here http://www.speedwaymotors.com/ got the tubing and tube inserts from btf . tubing is 1 1/2 x 1/4 wall dom . bought " 1 ton tre's" from autozone and there you have it. i bought the cheap tres to test the setup first. if it drives good without to much bumpsteer i will replace them with moog pieces.

reamer (1 1/2"per foot) 85.00
cheap tres 90.00
tubing 10ft and inserts 145.00

tre: 2233l ,2026r , 2027l , 2234r

hmm. those "1 ton" TRE's are actually not 1 ton. my ford f250 front end had larger TRE's on it. and the ES2233L....well its from a 1/2 ton. and i'v bent two, chase has bent one and i know more people have bent them. Don't get me wrong, its a good setup but by no means 1 ton.

i know thats why i put the " " around it. thats what some people call it but its pretty much just 1/2 ton stuff.
i was more wondering about what the angles look like and if anyone thought i would have a lot of bumo steer.

well that pic makes it hard to tell.

i can't see a track bar. if thats so and it is in there then you will probably have next to no bump steer. maybe just a bit due to the fact that the track bar and drag link are not the same length. although mine arn't even close to the same length and i get relativly no bumpsteer.

if your running a 4link front you may want to reduce that drag link angle. but one thing to consider is that your running boggers (one of the worst tire for vibration) and your tires are 38" tall. this truck is not going to drive like a cadilac. the amount of bumpstear your goin gto have will mostlikly be the last thing your going to be thinking about when your driving that thing on the road.

all in all it looks good.

the tracbar is in there. if you look close at the top of the draglink you can just see a little of it. i have a radius arm front.
yeah ive got a big box of stickers because the only thing i stick them on are my tool boxes and jack stands. i might as well get a use out of them.

What did you use for the flat part of the tie rod where the end of the drag link connects to it?
