upside down i beam?

[Heavenlyfire]

you may need A drop down pitman arm. Like comes in most bigger left kits. That may re allign your steering linkage. I think.

The only part of the I beam that has changed is the end, the pitman arms are still in the same position.

but if you get a lift off this then you may need a drop pitman arm, dont want to bump steer

with my 4" coils on my truck it still looks like I will not need a drop pitman arm, but you may need one.

HELP!! I need information now. Hit a road block. In order to make this work I am going to have to flip the spindle upside down. Is the pin that holds the spindle in tapered? If it is then I am sunk and will most likely have to put it back the other way.

Thats what I meant. I think. I should probably stay outta this since I am just a 2x4 guy

UPDATE!!! I just flipped one spindle and that throws the allignment way out of whack. So, I checked the other side and the allignment looks good but now the brake backing plate has to go on upside down. Not too much of a problem. This will be the first fabrication on any of it. I am going to run a steel brake line from the wheel cylinder, which is on the bottom now, around the spindle and to the to to connect with the rubber line. Getting closer.

Just got back from the local pull a part with 2 great looking break lines that are perfect for the extention that I need. Bad news, now I gotta go to work . Oh well I will try to get this project done in the morning.

That's it folks. The verdict is in and it can't be done without a lot of extra work that I just don't have the funds for. You need to get longer steering linkage and fabricate steel brake lines. Other than that, it looked good. Even the alignment was going to be good. It's your turn boots, good luck with your brackets.

Well, Heavenly it was fun while you tried it. And i think we all learned something we did not know. Or I know i did at least.

Was just putting my front end back into my 250 and couldn't get the brake backing plate to go on one side. Stepped back and took a look at it and I had put one side on upside down. Didn't I just say that didn't work

[boots]

ahhh im so sad becuase it didnt work. well was worth a try though. I just got my brackets in the mail today after being lasercut. They are gonna be on my truck July 2nd, ill post pictures then.
