Did I put on my Stonecrusher Steering System right?

[Dweano]

Hey guys. After probably an hour plus of drilling...I ended up with this:

but also!!!

Looks a little bit messed up because the tires are not on, but did I put it on right?

More pics:

I don't have a manual or anything with it so I just guessed at how it should be. Looks right to me. Also...do I need to make any adjustments to it? Or anything? Like I said I don't have a manual. If all the connections are how they should be I will tighten everything. Put on the tires. And take another pic. Thanks guys

WELL THIS ISN'T GOOD!

should've seen that coming by looking at this picture

its even worse in real life...I can hardly drove because i am snow plowing. Good news is that most of the rods are in are far as they can go. So I am hoping that I can unscrew them enough to get it where it is kinda straight...gah...I really hope so...I NEED to drive this truck in eight days and I already drilled the stuff out to 3/4 inch...

its made to be adjusted... get it driveable and then take it to an alignment shop.

Theres really only one way to put it on, and youve got it. That toe-in is pretty nasty, but youre right in that you need to unscrew the heims a little bit to get it it more even. A couple degrees of toe is normal, but having too much of that heim exposed is not good, and the heims will shear.

Was this Stonecrusher originally for a Ranger?

 

[Dweano]

Yeah I believe so. I can't remember who I bought it from. Someone on these forums...it came off a Ranger I believe

Looks all good to me (other than the nuts not tightened in the pics).
Like said, you just need to adjust everything so the alignment is correct (I like to shoot for 0° toe myself (tires parallel- no toe in). I haven't observed any handling issues at 0 toe vs. 1/8" toed-in... Should be good for at least 5-10% more tire life I'm thinking.
