After adjusting my bumps, trimming steering box brace bolts, adjusting my sway bar links, relocating my shock mounts and raising my draglink, I have FINALLY determined that the loud *WHAM* I'm hearing in the woops is my trackbar mount making contact with my truss. Yeah, these things take me a while sometimes :looser:
I think the best thing to do is replace my RE trackbar mount with a custom/homemade one. I could really use some pointers on materials to use.
I was thinking 3/16" plate welded to the outside and bottom of the frame with 1/4" for the drop bracket portion. I'll keep the RE brace to maintain frame rigidity. For joints I have a ruff-stuff 7/8" X 3/4" Rod End/heim I plan to use on the frame end and the axle end is set up for a 2" Summit Machine Flex Joint so I figured I'd get one of those.
My questions:
Thanks in advance for any input - also if anyone has a link to a build thread that would be great. I've seen a couple threads but I don't have a dimple die press so I can't replicate those exactly...

My questions:
- Are my metal thicknesses alright? (I have 3/16" & 1/4" laying around the garage...)
- Is the Rod End for the frame joint a good choice? (double sheer of course)
- Can I get away with just the Rod End and no misalignment spacer on the frame? (I need to keep it as narrow as possible to fit into the space between the truss and the high-steer tierod.)
