    Really? I would think the other way around, but I understand front end geometry better than link geometry.

    Ah link stuff is easier to setup cause you have a ton of room cause you backhalf the truck....the backhalf part is what takes forever cause you are literally making half a vehicle at that point lol

    When you built spindles, you kept the stock hub that bolts in right? You just had a new piece machined that you welded to

    A thing or two...
    How does steering work on setups like that with fabbed spindles and vertical uniballs for the upper/lower pivots? Do you lose a lot of steering angle or do the uniballs have enough articulation?

    You lose some steering angle but it's not really ever an issue unless you doin some rock crawling in tight spots

    Curious on your total estimated cost for this project. Is it cost beneficial to design and build your own set-up, compared to something like TC or Solo kits? Sorry if it was mentioned somewhere in the bulk.
