OK so I am in the middle of a SAS and the Radius Arms are installed, Frame mounts are at the cross member for the trans. checking steering for bump, and panhard, everything looked sweet!! Then installed one of the new rims and tires and the tire hits the Radius Arm well before full turn.
It is a Dana 44 out of a Jeep Grand Wagoneer WMS to WMS is 62-1/2".
Rims are 3.75" back Space, and the Tires are 35x12.5x15 KM2 Mud Tires.
so I already need to get the adapters for the rear to go from 5x4.5 to 6x5.5 lug pattern and the thinnest I can get those are about 2". The 8.8 is 59.625".
OK so thats starting to get into two different questions but I will start with
1. How are you guys with a narrowed HP, or the Wagoneer axles keeping the turning radius, there is not much room on the axle or the frame to fix this? are you running spacers? I am willing to go this rout but not liking the added stress on the ball joints. Any help would be great.
2. The Adapters for the rear end are going to be 2" on each side to change the lug pattern, if any of you are running something like this how is the ware on it? I have fully rebuilt the rear axle before starting the SAS, with crom. axles new bearings and a ARB air locker with 4.88 being installed this week for the 35" tires.
