    Damn, well apparently im dumb. I have a M15-1.5 thread/pitch on the inner tie rod so der. My tie rod ends are M15-1.5. Searched online and cant find an M15 coupler nut.

    http://m.ebay.com/itm/110776480889

    http://www.markcpope.com/stud-m15-x-1.5.html

    Found this. Going to have to make one from scratch i guess. Need to find 1/2 hex tubing (not digging welding a nut on the tubing) for the heim and seeing if there is such thing as an M12-1.5 bolt/nut/misalignnent spacer

    Got bars cut down. Went to a shop to get new front tires, got some in sight to my camber.... im on my way to fixing it (might not even need to extend toe rod end).

    Got the rest of the bars cut. Went through 2 cutting wheels :mad: need to get some time to mock up bars. By the looks of it im only off about a inch (i had 50's on at first but its 40's all around which dropped the front about an inch - helped with camber a little - now all i need to do is adjust the diff via arms, then have the tie rods adjusted to alignnent (so no need for a tie rod extension).

    Hmmmm, a lot of work going on in here to get these to work. I swapped out to the coil overs with DJM arms @ 5" of drop and was able to get 0 degrees of camber out of my front. Pulled it back to .5 degrees just to have a little. Keep up the fight man, cant wait to see it finally on the ground sitting flat.
