I am looking for any info for proper install of it and what modifications are needed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 192 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 192 | Your going to have to hang the tie rod ends underneath the spindle steering arms so the tie rod clears the leafs. That will require reaming new tapered holes from the bottom if you use newer style tierod ends. The front of the drag link will need the same treatment. It needs to be mounted on the underside of the spindle steering arm, so the bumpsteer is kept in check. Check out Nostalgia Sid's website, droppedaxles.com. Lots of interesting info there. He was very helpful for me when I had him drop my axle. He can do the modifications for you if you don't have the ability. | | |
