[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 646923, member: 6317"] So this use to be my front upper link truss...and it use to be straight. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/IMG_20170305_131653391_zpsyo8k5slc.jpg[/IMG] So I stopped by the local scrap yard and picked up entirely too much 3/16 plate. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/IMG_20170303_170539265_zpsvsjyjfoo.jpg[/IMG] I started turning it into my new truss/link mount. [IMG]http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/clemsonjeep/Samurai/IMG_20170305_184526140_zpskodvl5dr.jpg[/IMG] Cut and drilled link tabs this evening. I think they'll work out well. Gotta cut the other pair and then work on gusseting them as well as the front and back of the truss. I've got roughly 3 3/8" adjustment which gives me 66%, 90%, and 113%. With the old setup I was around 88% if I remember right. It seemed to work pretty well, but I wished I was able to mess around with it just to see what changed.
