BIG (thacru7 how did you narrow 5in? what all did you narrow? thanks

I rebuilt the entire frame....made it 5 inches narrower. Used same length uppers and lowers so I could keep the amount lift I needed. I used a Dodge Dakota rack and pinion on a fullsize truck. I basically have the same suspension geometry as before...but I tweaked it a little. I get 14 inches of lift without any visable bumpsteer. Ride height is 3 inches off the ground. I don't have any rollin pics just a short video. Hoping to get some good rolling pics this weekend on the way to Weiner Jam.

i narrowed my track 3" w/ barely legal upper & lower control arms w/ sperical bearings. i dont have to lift unless its a tight 90 deg or in a parking lot.

this is tucking 4" of wheel & is enough to make a wide 90 deg turn. (295/35/24 = 11.5" wide)
