Here's a better way to ask...

I'm building D60 axles and was wondering if you guys might have any recommendations on high steer arms for kingpin axles. It's out of 86-91 F350.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Studs VS regular boltz?..... advantages/disadvantages of going spring less.?..... double flange or not?

I'm pretty new to this but I think i'm asking questions on the wrong site... ???


i'll give it a bit of time   ;D

Cheers

from what ive read the spring-less design is better, i cant remember why, i think its a better pre-load on the bearing.

http://www.ottindustries.com/

http://www.bluetorchfab.com/store/

http://www.cranehiclearance.com/

all these company's have high steer arms. i think even evolution machine can make you some as well.

I've seen these sites and I think the original BTF design for TRE joints is the one i'll go with. I just need to make sure I have enough space with the rims I have.

what are you doing with your Junk Eric?

i keep it warm and play with it every day...

im still collecting parts and tools and what-not. ive gotten a few small things together. the little things keep the build-up going slow. what rims are you using? as long as the back space isnt to high then your rims probably wont hit the steering arms, if they might then that link to OTT industries might be the ticket, they have arms to clear H1 rims which have a pretty big back space.
