Oh yeah. Subcribed..i wana see how this turns out. ive been thinkin about doing something like this. not sure where to start. another stock axle is a good place to start. but D30 or D44???? 44s are almost rare and 30s are plentiful but not as strong....hmmmm

Still debating on whether to put the tie rod and drag link heims over the knuckle or...since I have both the the tie rod and drag link to attach to the knuckle I'm not too sure if I want them both attached on top on the right side...hmmm...

Cons: Well since the TR & DL heim will be sitting on top of the knuckle, there will be a lot of load on the attachment bolt on the right side...especially from the draglink! Although if I keep the TR under the knuckle it will still be hanging down low and vulnerable to rocks and such.

seems like too much work haha im building a rear 44 for mine right now but going to end up building the 30 since it seems pointless building a 44 for the front since i will either have bolt pattern issues or width issues which i dont want to haggle with

I'm running the same set up on my d30 with both the drag link and tie rod above the knuckle without problems. But i do carry extra bolts because i have heard of them sheering. make sure to double nut all of your bolts also!
