I'm basically copying Tom Buban's pseudo-wristed arm setup
(4wheelair.com, click on gallery at the top). bushings and heims are
on their way. I need to get steel for the links, and once I have the
heims I can design their mounting tabs. not sure if I'll need to bend
the panhard to clear the pan or not, but I should be able to do that on
Jon's pipe bender as long as I'm careful. Steering is still a bit of a
question mark along with exact coil mounting plans - I'll know better
once the axle is under the truck.
