I live dangerously. I made a double arm, leaving my tie rod below the springs and the drag link going over the springs. This way I preserved the Akerman angle, the stock drag link ends, (I like that I can take them apart without a pickle fork) and saved money. Yes I know it's supposed to be taboo, but I welded it VERY well and that was years ago, no problems. If it was going to break, it would have done so when I was forced to run over a huge bank of dirt at the road side, at stupid speed to avoid some retard piloting his Chevy down the middle of the road.
