Front 60 Install Begins!
#55
Got my drag link and tie-rod done today. We used 1-1/2" DOM with .250 wall and weld-in inserts. We drilled two plug weld holes for each insert and beveled the tube to allow for more welding surface. Those inserts are never coming out :!: They are primed and I'll paint them tomorrow probably. Misalignment spacers are ordered.

I've got to find a Grade 8 bolt with a long shoulder and less thread. The bolts I have (too short anyways) have so much thread on them that the thread is going through the actual heims.

Now it's time to figure out the trac bar. I know I'm going to use a riser, but the drag link angle is so low due to the dropped pitman arm it's going to have to be one tall riser. I'm going to have to figure out how to bend this thick tube probably :?:

Here are a few pics.
