Well in that case, if you're going to have the control arms go over the connecting rod then you can do what I did and go to GM-1ton TRE's. You ream out the existing holes on the steering arms and since it's tapered you can "sit" the TRE's as low or as high as you'd like. I did this after seeing folks here getting this setup from Luke Porter at 4x4Labs.

Do you think the control arms protect the tie road? I've always thought so since they get so many scars but maybe Joe's experience shows it just is too close to other stuff to get nailed.

These just sold on Pirate but this size seems pretty reasonable - 2.5", 1.25" thread compared to a 3/4" heim.

Now get busy so we can all mooch off your experimenting
