I wanna be Dave
WOW, lookin real good Tommy. I know I had issues with my stamped Steelies as well with the WK axles. I moved my shocks inboard more to stop the contact to them....I don't think I had bumper contact though.
I'll be posting an update to mine tonight, got the 3-link done ! Thanks again for the ideas.
I wish I could inboard my shocks more, but they're already really close to the body and I can't move them much more inboard, if at all.
Did a bit more to the Willys today. Don't know if I mentioned it already, but the front and rear driveshafts are in (MIPs). I'm waiting for another MIP from The Crawler Store to connect the trans to the t-case. I also did a few more tweaks. I shortened the track bar a bit to better center the axle and I also determined the right length for the drag link.
Here's some pics...

The "pitman arm" screw hits the tie rod at full bump, but since that will rarely ever happen, I'm not really worried about it. Under normal driving conditions there's plenty of clearance. But I can always tweak things later on if I feel the need.
I took a video of the bumpsteer. I think I nailed it! :mrgreen:
