Re: '06 HD Straight Axle Conversion Build Pics...

OK, when left off...we were working on the steering.

My buddy wanted to try our old skool way of Z's the draglink like we used to do back in the day on Samurais...

I insisted that it was a ghetto way of doing it, considering the amount of lift and how heavy this vehicle was...so here goes... Had to prove it the hard way !!

He quickly realized I was right ... ... but at least we were able to steer the truck, take it outside for some air, and test it with the forklift....

The truck was flexing a lot better than I thought...I could of lift the forks alot higher without lifting a rear tire, but the tire was starting to slip on the forks. I need to build a tire cradle to slip onto the forks for safety.
