What the reason for ditching the bushings that are cast on the axle? I am doing an SAS on a 97 and I was planning on using them, just curious if you had any input. Looks great though.

X2 looks like you cut then off then built basically the same thing back? (Although inverted)

Looks pretty pimp! Only thing that makes me

is the pitman arm! Man that is some leverage! did you modify the drop on it? Never seen that close of a ratio to the pitman shaft?

well the 1st question is cause the mounting width i gained almost 2nd to get the 4link arm separation i needed.3rd so the frame brackets fit perfect under the frame rail and 2 these r rebuildable and flex better

It's not so much about clearing the chunk as getting enough drop and still keep it safe! The best senario is change the angle of the box or do high steer for the drag link!
