What am I searching for again? I've got my handy dandy how to install this 3-link instructions but from all the people bitchin about how hard it is to get these in I figured I should get some pointers from those who were successfully.. I'll stop posting now until I have pics of it on my truck :flipoff2:

Search why it was for sale... I Guarantee that has been bought and sold somewhere around 7 times without being installed since it was removed from the first guy that put it on...

Take and post pics of the process so that we the peanut gallery can comment on your every alledged mistake.

Hopefully, you have not gotten castor corrected swivel balls.

I dont and even if I did I could adjust them back to the "stock" positioning moving the steering arms back into "stock" locations in relation to the axle. All I had going on up front was a pair of Terrafirma radius arms. I saw the SG 3-link on here with the bigger track rod box for castor corrected swivel balls - thats a pretty slick set up.

LOL...you kill me PT...

I have a plasma (well, three) a welder (er, four of those), a Chop saw (and a bandsaw) and enough education to think I could do it. Maybe not as well as you with the "consultants" at YOUR disposal, but I could give it a pretty good try.

I should have a pretty good sized truck load of steel showing up in the next week or so... Gonna try to wear out a tubing bender and maybe fab up a three link as well!

If fit in decently well with a BFH, bottle jack, and grinder. Need to make some changes and adjustments but thats where I am at as of this evening. After doing a head gasket job this weekend I didnt have much energy left to finish it properly. But it will be done soon enough.

yea I like the sound of that. I believe it's the original terraflex link. Let me know if you find/remember the info no it I guess I can run pretty much any center link joint but I'd like to keep it adjustable.

yeah terraflex sounds right, but i think it had the currie joints. should be easy to make one using whatever joints you want. just measure your bushing.
