Re: Idler Arm Bracket Upgrade Template

No problem! I started out going the "template" route, but then I remembered that these trucks were made on an assemble line with varying quality control standards. My goal has been to rebuild the truck beyond factory specifications (read: better quality control + uprating). Therefore, using precision measurement I set to install the centerlink as close to "perfect" as I could get it (i.e., square and level). Then, once you get the rest of the suspension assembled, you'll see all of the deflection and bumpstop potential that is inherent in the flawed original design, and you'll wonder why you bothered.
