    Maybe this is Meatloafs cousin. I’ll do anything to fix it the right way, but I won’t do that.

    Lol. OP, what's said is said already. You got the advice from multiple members but it seemed like it's what you want to hear. So we don't know what you want us to agree with. It's a POS job your fab guy did, if you want a real fix, buy the hellfire. Your post says it's out of stock, it's not. You're utilizing EXCUSE to not buy it and try to fix what can't be fix.

    My issue is that hf knuckles are out of stock unless you wanna order off some garbage website. I’m sticking with ruff
    My issue is Ryan from ruffstuff said they out of stock for few weeks and he’s local to me is why I was thinking about going that route. But I’m curious what else I’ll need because if I got the hf wouldn’t the hibsteer still hit the leaf spring in the angle it’s at. And the slee arms look small and weak to me and I could make something better than that I feel like.

    Here again you say YOU could make something better!! Then make what you feel is better .

    That is why we for the most are saying you need to redesign things to make it work !! Yet you seem to feel that is not a good idea!

    Just keep welding the backyard special arms on your old lady’s truck and use it. Tow it back home after every trip until HF is back in stock. But wait, you mentioned it might not even fix your problem, so disregard.

    If you have 4 *rigs* and can't seemed to fix this issue, you got problem.

    That's SAD. I think his axles alone can buy your "OLD LADY'S" truck.

    @Tacomaboy2210 you might try posting on the 80 series or hardcore section on ih8mud. Someone might have some parts you could use, or have a lead on where you could find some that could fix the issue if the HF knuckles are out of stock online.

    Also, remember that these are members volunteering their time. Many of them have years or even decades of experience modifying and wheeling these trucks and are willing to help, but they have no obligations to that end.

    I normally troll people I try to help that can't be helped, but not worth it.

    I suggested he should redo the whole setup; it honestly looks unsafe. None of us got personal with him, talking about how many cars we own or putting anyone down.

    We just offered advice, based on information he provided, and wrote it off like we're idiots.

    Some of us weld, some of us modify our vehicles, and some of us wheel; and some of us do all 3. We don't need to prove it or talk about all the cool shit we own or not, we just wanted to volunteer time and advice.

    Oh well.
