In my introduction to IH8Mud I was asked about possible steering issues as the previous owner did a spring over lift to my new to me FJ40. I haven't really driven it as I tore right into a body off restoration. In the process I have pushed the frame in and out of the garage several times. I noticed that it turns great left with an acceptable radius. The issue is right turns as the tie rod hits the right leaf spring limiting the right turn radius.
I thought my solution would be a Aqualu Industries right double steering arm however steering knuckles have a small bolt pattern and they only make them for late model large bolt patterns.
My second thought is to fabricate an angle to lower the Center arm bracket assembly. Now is the best time to make modifications however I'm not sure how it would affect the rest of the mechanism as the body and steering column are no on the frame.
Thanks for any wisdom forthcoming.
