    They morphed into trailing arms by the end of the day.
    I can just picture the leafs slapping against the sheetmetal.

        I make my own steering I have the tap reamer and tubing but I use 3/16 wall like I said before still very beefy but there is more meat over the threads.

        I also have a bender so can bend the tie rods around the diff if needed.

        send me a PM if your interested.
        I'm located I Naugatuck.

          a 44 front on 32's?? if he talked you into a waggy 44 cause the stock steering on them is beefier, then you are overkilling just to get some beefy steering. Not to mention the hassle with running a waggy front with a stock rear..... ie, lug pattern, they are 6 lug. also you're looking at about $400 just for the axle brackets to install it. and what about gears? locker? its a junkyard axle sooo... new brakes? u joints? possibly new lockout hubs?

          it would be worth it if you are looking to run 35 or 37 inch tires at some point, but then you also have to keep in mine that you are going to have to build a rear axle too.

          Honestly if you arent ready to go all out on dumping a crap load of money into your rig just upgrade the 30's steering and continue to enjoy.

              ohhh well in that case its good to go agree with waggy 44 front. This thread was about steering so i just had to chime in when i heard that.

              44 rear?? normally you rep the 8.8 like its your job, as it is the better option IMO.

                reason for waggy 44 rear saves money no need to swap one to 5 lug or vise versa

                  Si senore. Unless you wanted to buy a set of 8.8 chromos with a custom lug pattern and brakes to match. which is muchos dinero.

                    No tengo mucho dinero so I will be taking R J's advice and yea it's not just for the steering but I will still be running 44's with 32"s for a while until I can upgrade to long arm and locked to get everything all set before I add the 37"s so I don't screw all the work I have done up.
