It might just be the pics but it looks like your welds are just stacks of small individual beads rather than continuous. I can't tell from the pics but make sure you're also beveling all of this thicker stuff with your smaller welder.

About how tall is the tracbar mount? From the center of the axle tube to the center of the hole in the TB mount that you used?

Do you have room to move the whole track bar assembly forward about 2"? That would afford you a longer track bar and eliminate any hi5ing.

I got nothin' other than that. Lookin good :thumbup:

 

[MoparManiac]

I'd say the same thing, but I don't think his tie rod would like that.

Judging by this picture, it looks like the TB could be pushed forward some. But then again, where are you mounting the teirod Rob? OTK stock arms? Under high steer arm? Over high steer arm?

everything on on top if hi steer arms, tie rod might end up below if it desides to become friendly with pitman arm

Rob you could make a brace to run from drivers side to passenger side to get rid of that issue

I planned on doing this to mine no matter what.

After driving both with and without the RE 1670 I don't think I'd ever go back to without.
