I'll guess it's your cheap/free plan to create something that will put a whole lotta torque on the longer bolts or studs you're gonna need.
Did i get it? What do I win?
People bitch about the studs as a weak link w/ double steering arms. And this is without the longer studs required for this flavor. The hardware is not just providing clamping force in this app (as they should be).
Maybe fine, maybe something to think about; figured i'd be a ballbustah either way... maybe get some action on this forum!

Yes you got it!
I did think about the stress on the studs but the people that bitch about the studs being a week link are usually running tires that are larger than 35's and locked up front. Also the length increase is only about a 1/2 inch and of course high quallity fastners will be used.
That being said this will be a easy way of being able to steer the vehicle until funds are avalible for a 4x4 labs hi steer.
Also I think NIBLIK did this because he is in Austrailia and he has a right hand drive rig. I dont think a double arm is made for this
configuration.
Anyway thanks for the input and anything new with your rig?
