"Email from TCI:
"The kit you have will work and we can send you new axle brackets. Your frame is 36”wide so the bracket centers should be 38”. 2” wider than out side of the frame."
Coilover cross member:
Total length end to end: 35 1/2 inch Your picture with a tape measure seems to show more than 35 1/2? Be sure you take measuring more serious. You are the engineer/fabricator now. Start measuring dead nuts
Cl to Cl of shock mounts: 24"
Cl to cl of mounting tubes: 34 5/8 MISTAKE, REMEASURE
Diameter of mounting tube: 1"
Axle bracket:
Bracket width outside to outside: 2 1/4"
Bracket width inside to inside: 1 2/3" REMEASURE ...the only fractions allowed in mechanical design are those that have an equivalent on a U.S. inch scale. 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 etc.
Metal thickness: 1/4"
Axle width in total: 60"
There are NO frame modifications and there will not be any, it is staying stock."
Things are looking good, Please provide the corrections above. The actual CL to CL of axle bracket to be inline with CL's of frame brackets is 38.25"
Please measure the portion of the frame brackets that receive the link. out to out, in to in, thinkness of metal.
Alright calipers are out and a non-harbor freight tape measure.
