i know this isint the most "Hard Core" mod ever but i just wanted to share my project..
The Hysteer arms are done by a local person here in colorado and bent up at 20 Degrees.. The 1 ton TRE are off an 85 Blazer Part #'s off this site worked good www.pavementsucks.com/tech/steeringupgrade.php
The TRE's were $140 Thru Car Quest, i found them cheeper thru autozone or Cheacker but i went with the better ones.. I dont want any more steering issues!!
I had the Tubing Cut and Taped Localy and my Draglink was only like 13", the Tie Rod was about 35".. Taped for 7/8 18 Left and Right handed.. Cost was $65 for parts and labor. including tapering
The Tubing was .28 Wall, i think ID was like 3/4 or maybe the OD was 1 1/4
Everything is coming together good, except i had to send the Tie rod Back to be re taped, The Threads got Real tight as it went in and eventualy i couldint turn it at all without a breaker bar..
My steering is Saginaw GM and my Springs are Shackles reversed right up to the end of the frame with stock Spring mounts.. there should be no bump steer at all, I used a stock pitman arm (Chevy Impala) and had everything taperd..
