Don't forget the pics
what caster angle are you setting the front to? I added a bit more than stock to mine to compensate for the larger tyres, think it was +5.5 degrees I went for in the end.

thanks
yeh i hope so, although i never really had a problem before, but never went quick in it.....
not that i can go fast with 5.125 diffs and 5.1 t-box !!! hahaha
but at least the steering issue is sorted, i had to move the shock mounts too, so i finished that today, just need to flex it up some how now, and get the front shocks sorted.
any ideas how to flex it?? engine crain?? i need a forklift !!!

I use my engine crane and some rope looped through the holes in the wheels, just make sure you don't do that in the garage though as it will move at least 1ft to the side as you lower it again

yeh, that was my plan, il have to take it out of my garage on smaller wheels its too big it wont come out !!!
so i dont stand a chance of lifting it in teh garage !!
dont know what the flex will be like yet, i have heard these missing link things are good, but nvere really seen any pics or them in action !!
