i hope you're not using the pipe bender to make those drift lowers with the huge bend in em to clear stuff... not exactly.. safe either.

I hadn't thought of making a bolt on piece for the second hole, I like that idea a lot. The rack is 2.75 turns lock-to-lock, and keeps the original amount of travel. Moving the tie rod mount inward will quicken the steering in itself.
I'm undecided on bending the arms... I did try a piece of 1 5/16" OD 3/16" wall tubing and it bent it perfectly- no kinking or distortion. All the reviews I read that mentioned kinking were with thinwall tube. The dies fit 1 5/16 tightly, which helped with that. With air bags, I won't be able to make the arms kick in much more than normal due to the diameter of the bags, so the bends won't be extreme. I definitely won't use it if there is
any distortion in the tubing for the A-arms.
