Re: Dropmembered trucks
The rack we run is a 79-93 mustang. The rack bushings and tie rod ends come standard with the dropmember.
The rack can be purchased in either power or manual configurations. I prefer power. Nate Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Well, I thought this might be a good option........
http://www.flamingriver.com/index.ph...steer/FR40004S but after looking at it, I realized you could buy 9 at O'Rielly for the price of this one. It's nice though..........

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Mr. 'Porterbuilt' gave me a p/n once upon a time for a rebuilt R&P sourced through Summit that looked much nicer vs. the Oreilly Auto set-up & wasn't priced too crazy. I can't remember what mfr is was though.... I'll do some digging.
If you're going to log some miles on it & it's a driver, the Oreilly's type would still work just fine & can easily be touched up w/a little rattle can black.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
So you don't have to use the Unisteer rack? I'm assume all the racks are built with the same dimensions, whether it's a $100 rack or a $1000..

Re: Dropmembered trucks
This is why we don't use the CPP steering joints. They look purdy until you get them wet.

Re: Dropmembered trucks

As I said in my earlier post, the front end of my truck was mocked up using a version one DM and stock control arms. Over the course of the last year I have purchased all the rest of the front end parts needed from Nate. I am still using my version 1. Now that I have everything installed, the wheels no longer clear the fenders. The wheels are FOOSE 22 X 9.5 with 5-1/2" B.S. The tires are 255-35zr22 for an overall height of 29" The way I see it I have two options : Option one : Replace or modify my PB control arms, I see Nate offers them up 1-1/2" narrower than stock. Option two : Replace the rims for ones with a better offset, if my math is correct. In order to run a 22X9.5 rim I need at least 6-1/2" B.S. Pics of the truck are available at post 221 of this thread. Hopefully someone here can confirm my thoughts, or provide other solutions? Thanks Jason

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Anyone? Maybe I should've started a fresh thread with this question? Might get more traffic.
