  2. Geezze dude. This story has been around since I was a Pup and I'm near 70 now. Some say it works fine and others say W. T. F? I guess there's nothing like first hand experiance. It's also been beat to death on here. So are you going to try to drive it?

    Search the 'net. There's info out there that I read before but I don't have the links anymore. I think the biggest issue is that you have to heat and bend the steering arms with some precision to avoid bump steer.

    Not worth the effort. Drives like shit. I used lowering coils. You will have negative camber to start, but purchase alingment bracket from Jamco and you are good.

    I did read about it on here but it was just on how to do it . It worked out really well. I was just wondering if anyone else did it and how it drove
     
  7. OK, Here is the one thing to do. I think anyone should be able to figgure it out. Look at the King Pin. There in lies the problem. Steering arms are a totally seperate issue. Some people will put up with anything to look Kool. Yep, you can make it go strait ahead, but some where you gotta turn around and go back. How well is that going to work out for ya?
