[QUOTE=Big Rich;50644]Good stuff ckau! Once I get the location settled (height wise) I'll add a plate like that. Thanks!

Be cautious about moving the R&P from the original location. Yerf dog chumped out on a lot of stuff but they did a real good job of working out the basic steering geometry. They did a few things wrong for the sake of simplicity. Getting the tie rods running parallel with the a-arms to avoid bump steer is one example. The stock configuration works simi- acceptable in the original intended range but increasing travel, as with a longer shock will aggravate the bump steer dramatically. you'll get less bind and a better matching arc travel of the a-arms and tie-rods by raising the rods at the spindle connection rather than lowering the R&P.
The trick is to build a stand off strong enough to take the forces. This one works well, a length of 1"1/8 round stock drilled down the middle for a through bolt and machined down to give pivot clearance using some High misalignment bushings and a heim.
