Plymouthy Adams Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 even with the early Ford where the difference was not much...flipping was a possibility but there also was involved as I understand it, lot of heat and bending....heck of a process I am sure but I also know many things do not come easily...work involved, correct tools and work space, why many projects go unfinished...thanks for the reply by the way....good to put some of these rumors to rest before someone gets in over their head...

Pvnyhus Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Posted June 16, 2017 BTW here is my homemade "drop kit" to the rear Quote
JOHN EDGE Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 I moved them a little but could have pinched them a little. If I was running stock tires it would have been no problem. Keep the steering linkage as parallel as possible . You might get by without heating I had to remove some material from the mounting surface of the steering arms. It's a straight forward repair. Take your time and look how everything comes apart. One side at a time Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 I see you have the instruction in front of you......some do bend the dog bones...your call...based on your tires, rims and other aspects... Quote
Pvnyhus Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Posted June 16, 2017 I run 6.00-16" tyres on stok rims. Wil I get bumpsteerig or any problems not bending the steeringarms? Want to mount the uprights tomorrow Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) you should not see bump steer if you follow the instructions and mount the rack in relationship to the inside LCA bolt as directed and at the same time keep your tire rods parallel...again, follow you installation instructions...

40plyrod Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 I've been wondering about dropped uprights. Can you use 15" wheels with Fatman dropped uprights and still maintain your scrub line? Quote
