Ok so I know with the crank most guys have hard tie rod angles I was wondering if there was a way to adapt a high steer type system for IFS to fix the angles or if we could do some king of drop bracket for the rack that wouldn't interfere with ground clearence. I'm just throwing the ideas out there to see your opinions and if its possible.

With a torsion crank you are just over traveling the ball joint. Moving the rack or using a highsteer arm will change the relationship between the a-arm and the tie-rod. That's not a solution. It works on a straight axle because you have a pitman arm. An independant front is different. A better solution is a heim joint on the tie rod that has more articulation than the factory tie rod end.

x2 just dont crank so high

If you pony up for a spindle lift, they flip the tie rods to the top side :shrug:

 

[BADLANDER]

wellllllllllllll yeah but as far as stock you're stuck

 

[NativeColorado]

Unless you're a machinst that can grind a reamer to taper the upper portion on the stock spindle to match the TRE taper and flip it :naughty:

 

[BADLANDER]

talk to boyd he flipped his. hated it. when i had the 3 inch spindles i had to flip them but i did it myself

 

[NativeColorado]

Yeah, I ground a reamer at work, but didn't ream my spindle after reading about Boyd's

Shit lowered or lifted, some members here have some crazy looking tierod angles

 

[Freewood]

^^^ and with bad tie rod angles come bump steer and alignment issues.

Try something like this: Adjustable Tie-Rod Adapter Stud to Heim

What is a heim joint?
