RUF what to do with steering

Post by built4thrashing »

what needs to be done with the steering when you do RUF. i know i wont need to do anything if i leave the diff in the same place but i will be pushing the diff forward about an inch or so.

what have others done?

mines forward 22mm and steering box stayed in standard position.
The drag link only just touches the tie bar under extreme compression.
Not noticed and handling issues or other probs as yet.

standard front OME springs with the perches redrilled.
22mm is exactly half way between original hole and edge of the metal.
(standard zook springs be OK)
And roughly 1" or 25mm longer shackles.
OME shoks, with top of front shocker spaced down 10mm with use of two poly bushes underneath the mount and a rubber bush on top with a locking nut.
