I realized that I need a new clamp to mount my SS to for the new tie rod, so u decided instead of buying one (which would have been the easy route) that I'd make it myself lol.
I figured I'd put my access to the universities machine shop to use and drew this guy up.
Since I've got the time and the tools I couldn't justify paying $40 for one.

Mine is straight also, i didnt need a ton of bump stop. I think i had around 2.5 max and a drag link flip. You could always notch the frame also if needed. The ones ive done we cut a chunk of 3" pipe in half and use that.

Steering installed on Saturday.
I didn't need to ream very much out of my knuckles, just enough to match the taper to the new TRE's.
I'll work on better pictures today and more info. I'm on my phone and can't upload more than 1 pic at a time.
