Re: Make it handle

I may as well throw my tentative plan out there to see if there is something im not thinking of.

I am thinking I will move the crossmember forward 1" and raise it into the frame 2 1/8". For the upper control arm bracket, Im thinking I will raise it up the same amount but not move it forward at all so that I can gain additional caster without having to modify the lower control arms or cross shafts.

I will switch the outer tie rod ends to heim joints and mount them from below the steering arm. I think I will have to ream them with an angled reamer from below and use a tie rod to heim adapter like this one from speedway motors

Sound like a reasonable plan?
