d35 swap question

[scotiascrapiron]

i got my d35 in and everything bolted down but when i put the truck down the toe on the passenger side is wwwwaaaayyyy in.the steering wheel is straight and the driver side tire looks good but the other side is,well you know.i dont know if i'll have enough adjustment to get it right. anybody had this problem and please let me know if you have any ideas. thanks

Are you using D35 steering linkage?

 

[scotiascrapiron]

no the linkage under the donor was bent so i'd hoped to be able to use the linkage under the b2 (d28)

D28 linkage is too short since the D35 is a wider axle.

It looks bent, it's normal. D28 linkage is too short.

the 28 linkage doesn't have enough adjustment to get close??? after all it's a mud truck and will only see a pit

 

[scotiascrapiron]

no, it was bent. owner parked it on top of a stump

You MUST use Dana 35 steering linkage.

The ONLY way you can use the linkage from a Dana 28 on a Dana 35 is if you have the Superunner steering setup. It is the same part # for a Dana 28 and a Dana 35.
