Cool, would you share with me how to obtain the correct flaming river rack. I am sure I can weld the necessary brackets myself. Some pics of the mounting points you ended up with would be great. I will dig through your old threads , but dang they are soooo long. How is the man steering now? Thanks
It's not like buying a set of headers where I could give you a part number and the **** would just bolt up and work. If it was that easy I certainly would, but there is a method to the madness when setting up front end geometry......but please don't take everything i'm saying to be gospel, the more work I do, the more I learn. So the next is almost always better than the previous one.
As far as how it drives, it's great. It's obviously not power steering, but still you don't need 24" biceps to drive it. Also, when setting up a front end like this, you typically dial in so much caster it does make it a little harder to steer, but it is needed to help the truck/car track straight at big speed.
If I could provide you with part numbers I would, but the nature of this subject requires custom fabrication, and someone who understands how things need to be set up.

If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them, but you are headed into "custom territory" and that territory rarely is able to provide tech support on a forum.
I'm not a sight sponsor so i believe they frown upon solicitation (and it should be noted that this is NOT a solicitation, but rather an invitation), but I would like to let you and anyone else that may be reading this know, this sort of stuff is what is keeping food on the table for me right now. I certainly don't consider myself to be a pro chassis builder/fabricator, but for the most part I do have some decent fabrication skills and knowledge to help others that don't have access to the tooling and knowledge needed to get things done like this.
You and anyone are welcome to give me a call if you might be interested in letting me do some work for you, or even if you have some questions I may be able to help with. Just shoot me a pm and I'll respond back with my cell.

Yeah I saw that in your sig. Are you saying that because you're on a stock crank or what? All I'm saying is you could probably get what you're after for the same money (maybe less) and keep the factory creature comforts.
Not trying to get negative or anything man. Just bringing up another point of view. Good luck with your project.
