I have been doing a little bit to get the front axle ready for the SAS. When I first built the axle I was going to run leaf springs and regular hysteer running 3/4" heim joints, but with the 3 link, I wanted the steering much lower, so here is what I came up with.
I took two pair of stock steering arms, mounted one set on top like regular and flipped the other set side to side.
Obvioudly they don't line up, so I cut, bent, and welded them so that they would. I used a 5/8" bolt to align everything. Single sheer wouldn't have been good enough, so I started to make the top where the drag link connects double sheer.
I also wanted to put the draglink in double sheer, so I added some 5/8" I.D. chromoly tube and got this as the final setup.
Will install them next and get the tie rod cut to length.
I also came across a killer deal on a set of 5.29 gears for the front axle, so I picked them up and will be getting a solid pinion spacer next.
One other change that came about in anticipation of running this on the road, was I picked up a set of OG 37" MT/Rs that are near new.
