dawarriorman Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) oh no, ive never done it. it just seems that if you look at a preadtor steering setup it uses linkages, however the same could be accomplished by using a stem that has a ~2" wider hole mount location on each side. roughly putting the ball joints in line with the lower frame rails. it would just take some thick steel plate with a mild bend in the middle and 4 holes drilled in. 2 to locate to the stem and two to relocate the ball joint studs. unless you work in a machine shop and can taper ream those holes id recommend a heim joint steering setup. and since youre moving your rods out 2 inches, you still use stock length tie rods with +2 arms. any thoughts anyone? You would have to modify the spindle too the same amount, otherwise, turning the bars to lock would be about 10 degrees. Waay to quick steering. Building a linkage setup would be the best solution, but not really simple Edited October 9, 2006 by dawarriorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a linkage setup would be the best solution, but not really simple ya i mentioned that in the previous post. just make the sttering arms on the spindles proportionately larger and youre set. fortunately the steering arms only bolt on the knuckle itself sit would be a simple matter of some math, a welder and a die grinder.
