Re: 2wd swap
This is surprising. Was planning on reaming up to squarebody ball joints
The ball joint is bigger on a obs than a squarebody. But the tie rod diameter is smaller by a bunch

Re: 2wd swap
Was going to go with choppin block arms.
The obs spindle was my band aid for the sectioned crossmember for the bumpsteer they create. Get some squarebody spindles and have the kid braze the tie rod ends shut and ream them from the other side.. Or a heim end kit.

Re: 2wd swap

Re: 2wd swap
Think I maybe solved my bumpsteer problem.
Nothing like machining new parts. Void warranty in the 1st 30 seconds

Re: 2wd swap
Spindles showed time to get this together
@scoti Is there a recommendation for a bag and upper bag plate ? See some are flat and recessed into the coil bucket

Re: 2wd swap
With my arms shifted forward, I made my own upper plates.
Cardboard templates of the x-member transferred over to 3/16" plate. Mounted the bags to the lower arms & marked/traced out onto the plates to understand the center-line needed for them.

Re: 2wd swap
The ruffstuff insert was the wrong taper.
So a good friend made some new ones with a correct taper.

Re: 2wd swap
Looks good. Hard to tell from the angle though. You could always check it but cycling the suspension (especially since you dont have the spring in) and check to see how far it moves.
