I got to Kragen's and they didnt have 1 5/16.
I figured 1 5/16 ~ 33.3mm, so I got 33mm and 34mm sockets.
33mm worked fine.

Yeah, I will lower the trackbar frame mount.RCP Phx said:
Whats wrong with a drop pitman arm to improve the drag link angle?
Dropping the pitman and not the track bar will make them off plane, giving you worse steering. Best way to 'improve' drag link angle is at the knuckle IMO. I run a ZJ pitman to make my Drag link parallel with my t.b.not for solely drag link angles.
Same scenario, you don't just slap a tera knuckle on and leave the track bar the same :gee:

Ah, that make sense. The DL and TB should ideally be at the same angle throughout the flex of the suspension. I can picture that in my pea-brain.RyanM said:

I bought a "complete" kit so I can rely on someone smarter than I to design and build a suspension better than I ever could. I just have to bolt it together.
