you're not worried about stacking heims like that without double shearing it? whats wrong with running the tie rod UTK and adjusting your track bar down a notch

Not too worried that grade 8 bolt is huge! Haha but I do have extra grade 8 bolts the same size so if I do end up breaking it on the trail ill just put the new bolt in and put the tie rod underneath. But I think ill be ok

no actually you can twist the histeer arms lol. I'm not really worried about the grade 8 bolt either. all the force is now going on the arm and to the mounting point on top of the knuckle
