Since you have lowering blocks, OE style T/A's & larger diameter wheels, you can always do a taller block if you need more psi in the bag for ride quality. The taller block adds more drop so you add more air psi to get things back to where you were w/a shorter block.

It's not recommended on smaller diameter wheels because of Scrub-Line concerns but you should be ok since you're not using 15's/stock steel wheels.

Excellent work! Very nice detail on everything. Just read through your thread; can't wait to see it all come together!

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you think of that no frame modification rack and pinion setup, sounds intriguing..

Looks like a simple/clean install.

What rack model is utilized? Tie-rod ends?
Those are wearables that you need to know the ID for when you perform future service replacement work.

ok, so i emailed POL on the rack and the parts associted and ask if i ever need to replace parts, what do i use, here i response:

Thanks for your interest in our products. It will be hard to replace direct as the inner tie rod ends are machined special.
Rack is from a mid 90's Dodge Dakota. Outer tie rod ends are for the 1963-70 Chevy c10

I would ask for clarification on this info (after you provide your purchase info so they don't think you're trying to scam them). Point being, this is a non-stock part that you're building your steering set-up around. Should POL go out of business somehow/someway, you need a Plan-B if yours wears or becomes compromised.

Just glancing, it looks like maybe they're using adapters as the sleeve between the inner/out TRE. Maybe that's what he was referring to & what you'd want to clarify.

Quick look-up shows the inner as part of the R&P ('96 2wd model). Moog does show a replacement for inner & outer but the inners are a different deal vs. just swapping inner/outer TRE's on the original style steering.

My bet is they are just using a machined sleeve/adapter of the correct size/thread pitch that the correct C10 spindle outer TRE will thread into. Either modifying the inners length or accommodating the dimension into the adapter sleeve.

I think you are correct. IMO that aluminum sleeve looks a little thin where the outer TRE screws in. Plus I would think there would be a jamb nut there.

Hi Jeff,

Good to see the chassis member in place and looks good powder coated in red.

Tried to respond to your DM but your mail box is full.

Want to arrange a good time to call.

P. :D
