Currently running an inverted-T setup with Chevy 1-ton TRE's. It has worked ok, but there is definitely too much slop in the steering which is obviously from the twisting of the draglink setup. So I have been thinking of swapping it out to an inverted-T setup that uses 3 TRE's for attaching to the knuckles and pitman arm and then a heim joint to connect the draglink to the tierod. This would obviously be held on by two brackets for double shear on the heim. I have enough clearance that I would mount them completely vertical to eliminate potential twisting.
Thing is that I've tried searching but haven't found too much on this setup, only a few pics. So I guess my question is if this is a safe setup for say 75% on road driving? My only concern really would just be the failure of the heim brackets on the tierod, but with some carefully fab, I think it could be made safe.
Anyone have any experience with this exact setup? Even if you're using all heims, I would still be interested in your thoughts!
Thanks!
