yeah, on a ramp. do a little reading about real world use and you will quickly discover that they are somewhere between useless and bad, but definitely a waste of money.







Lee, looks good, the flex seems to be very even. I'll go ahead and say it for Richard, the arms hang way too low at the frame end, but I'm sure you're well aware of the compromises there.
I really don't like the looks of the steering though, it is very low with the tie-rod under the steering arms, and you probably have a bit of a dead spot because of the inverted T steering. Do you get full turn out of it? I didn't using stock Waggy steering/axle and a ZJ arm, I needed a crossover arm that was shorter than the stock steering arm. At the very least beef that tie-rod up a bunch.
 
i think the steering looks great. big and strong, and its in perfect line with the track bar. why would he have a dead spot alot of people have inverted T steering.

I have a dead spot in my steering. Turns out that the drag link rotates. I lessened the amount of dead spot by loosening the adjuster and rotating the upper tie rod end one way and the rest of the bar the otherway so as to reduce the amount of rotation that's possible.

Yeah, me too. Can U post up a poser shot of the front with the tires on the ground front and rear? It looks good Lee, glad to see you and up and running. What are the spec on the axle (gears, lockers, alloys)??? I hope to be up and running within a month with my hp44/9" as well.

I'll have a Wristed arm soon to cure the no flex problem. No problems with the steering at all, works lock to lock and no dead spot.
