Does it bump steer?
Nope. Went flying over a set of railroad tracks at 45mph - and no steering correction was needed.
But, in that one picture, your drag link and trackbar angles don't match up!
Silly, that only applies when the truck is level. Look at the first picture with the truck hood open. The track bar and draglink line up!
So what is wrong with the steering?
Well, the drag link is slightly too long, and the tie rod is also slightly too long.
But, because these parts are expensive in the first place, and I'd still have to cut down good pieces, I'm ordering new steering from Performance Products. (? got to check on this one - same place kampy/riffman got their steering from).
How did you get the trackbar to align up?
Simple. I used the trackbar mount from the donor 78 bronco. I cut the shock mount part off, and bolted it to the frame using a the bolt next to the shock/spring tower, and the top bolt hole in the trackbar mount. We then welded along the side and bottom to keep it from moving.
The truck is positioned perfectly; There is *no* tension on the trackbar when the vehicle is on level ground.
So what did you start with?
My navajo had a Superlift 5.5" lift kit, with Superrunner Steering, and Superrunner Extended Radius Arms.
What I reused from the Superrunner kit was:
a) the coils
b) the pitman arm
c) one d35 ball joint, for the pitman arm.
d) left the rear SOA kit in place.
In the back, I have OME 2.5" springs.
In the front, they are 5.5" Superlift coils (113, not the 133's). The coil adapters are simply blocks of 2x4 square tubing, 3/8" thick. I drilled two holes, that matched the original radius arm coil mount holes. I then drilled another hole, 3/4" in size, that I placed the coil stud from the old radius arms. Presto, instant coil adapter, with 2" of lift. With the 1/4" height gained from the d44 solid axle, I now have a total of 7.75" of lift in the front, and 8" of lift in back.
Wow! What did it all cost you?
Well, I overpaid for the d44 axle; but it was a complete axle, with radius arms, mounts, track bar mount, coil pads, rotors, calipers, hubs, and steering.
I got a set of rear axles from dutchman - cost, about $300 with shipping.
I replaced the rotors, calipers, caliper pads, bearings and seals for about $250 (autozone).
I cut the axle down, which cost me $150 for machine work on the tube, and $65 for cutting down the axle (dutchman, includes shipping)
The front d44 now has an ARB in it, with 4.88 gears; we also re-geared the rear 8.8, replaced the axles, swapped from drum brakes to disk brakes, and new cover (T/A cover). All this added about another $1500 to the cost.
Did you replace the C-bushings?
Not yet - I'm not 100% sure they need to be replaced yet.
What are the radius arm bushings? Did you use poly, or rubber?
Hey, this vehicle needs to flex. So, no poly for that spot; they are rubber.
