I've begun planning for a 3-link front once school gets out. I am sitting right about +4" and am probably going to go up 1"
my first thought is to get some stiffeners from HD offroad, weld those on and weld the brackets to them.
I want to run 25" "mid" arms.
the lowers would be on the bottom of the frame similar to the stock setup.
my plan is to plate the inside of the passenger side rail and run a Passenger side upper by re-locating my Currie upper Housing kit more towards the center of the axle and at the proper angle. I would also replace the JJ barrel with one that takes a 1/2" bolt
my thought is that a passenger side upper would be easier since the driver side mount can't really be moved and there isn't a bunch of fuel and vent lines in the way on the frame rail.
the lower brackets on the axle would be replaced with 1/4" brackets and re-angled to line up with the new arms..
I'm planning on re-using all the JJ's on my Rokmen arms now. I will probably end up lengthening the existing upper and sleeving it, the lowers will either be lengthened with an internal sleeve or be rebuilt using existing joints.
I also plan on moving the pan-hard up with an offset panhard bracket from Ruffstuff which would level it out at ride height and doing a hi-steer setup by flipping my cRusty's steering to the top of the knuckles and drilling everything for 5/8" heims.
thoughts? something I have missed? some crucial reason why I can't run a setup like this on a DD?
