Ok, Ive got a problem that i discovered tonight. I Have the passengers side of my axle all setup with the spring perch and the link mount on it(for a 3 link system).
Now when i went to setup the same thing on the drivers side of the axle, i decided to drill holes in the link tabs before putting them on the axle. and since i had the holes drilled in the tabs before hand i decided it would be a good idea to have the link bolted to the link mount and tied to the frame in the position it would go so that i could visualize how things were going to fit together.
I had everything all set to go, and i was about to tack things into place when i knocked the wheel climbing around to get into position to tack weld, and the tire hit the link and moved everything!
Now this is a HUGE problem. Expecially since i have 31" tires on at the moment and In the end i plan to run a 35" tire. How can i set this up so that at full lock i wont rub the tires on the links?
Or where can i have a bend put in the links?
As it is right now the links mount under where the spring perch is. Right about where i figured the origonal wedges would go.
I could take pictures to better describe if i have to, just wont be able to till 2morrow after work.
