Welcome to MUD. Nice rig.
Did you make your own mounts to move the axle forward? Are you interested and making another set?

i just took a template to a buddies shop and they cut them out with CNC
Thank you for the reference. I have a set of his RAM’s, but they are designed to correct caster for a 50mm lift. Bought them before I settled on a set of Blackhawk radius arms. Now, I’m looking to move the axle forward with as little caster adjustment as possible. I have PM’d Eimkeith to ask his advise.Eimkeith makes a set of weld in caster plates for the 80 series, these will move your axle forward and give you some caster correction. And they are a good price....

Bolt er’ up!
Or do you need to assemble/weld/paint first?
While your in there are you planning on replacing the two idler pulleys. I can't remember exactly but you can just replace the bearing on one of the idler pulleys. The other is sealed and you have to replace the whole pulley. I did both on my 3fe while doing the WP and it really made the idle more quiet.Replaced the water pump and de-greased all the power steering fluid of the front of the motor. power steering pump is going to be rebuilt this weekend.
