sorry to change the subject, but can someone with a MC drag link make the following measurement for me please? Also I need to know the bar diameter. (or if you measure to the back of the bar it will not matter.) I need to know what the offset is.

Metalcloak stopped by at 4WP here in Bossier City, LA today with their CTI. Put her on and got some details. Could cut about an 1" off my rear bumps, need longer brakelines and abs lines, need metalcloak front lower shock mounts to move my fox shocks out so they aren't hitting the frame, and my RK springs pop out, thinking of switching to metalcloak anyways which will fix that issue. Overall I was impressed and surprised it did so well scored at 740

In fact, can you draw up my track bar for me?! Beats bending some brake line and sending it in. Oh, and maybe draw up my fuel cell too

I will happily give you CAD when I'm done, but you're on your own with the fuel cell
This is my home-made bracket and source of my issue...

LOL! I actually am going the path of making my own. I have some drag-link to hydraulic ram interference at full driver lock and stuff. I could move the ram back at the axle bracket side but don't really want to make any more off parallel to the track bar. I have this issue because I do not run a track bar raise or drag link flip. This combination makes fitment of hydro assist tricky. The bottom line is I need the drag link about 1/2" further forward than it is. I had hoped to use a MC D-link and replace the pitman arm end with an offset joint, but I couldn't find the correct thread and the offset joints don't have sufficient misalignment.

Thanks. I'm going to get it all fixed. Need to figure out how to extend the ABS lines though. My shocks are bottomed out at full stuff in the front, well maybe 1/8" left I'm shaft. Got alot in rear I can take advantage of but when I get new tires it will be just right.
