King pin Dana 60

Does anyone know the distance from the king pin to the WMS?

That's about 2 inches on my screen.

Sweet thanks!

It's not paralell. The bottom pin will be much less than the top.

True, I put a square on the WMS and measured back towards the king pin cap, FYI.

Is that a driver's side knuckle or passenger side knuckle? Assuming tie rod in front so driver's side knuckle, why does the draglink drop to the driver's side? Maybe I'm missing something...

Yea that is why I added the lines so we are all talking about the same point... All I am trying to do is find the coil over placement with where the rim/tire will be located

so with the WMS location I can line up the tire and see what will hit/rub to make sure I don't have to rework to much.

That is just a picture I stole off the net I only have the inner C at this point but the left or right side should be the same distance from the king pin to the WMS (Wheel mount surface)

but to answer your question: on some Chevys (maybe ford or dodge) the steering box push/pulled front to back not left to right so the drag link connection was on the side like that...
