Idk if there is technical name for it, but it mounts the heim joint horizontal so it pivots on the ball of heim joint itself instead of just rotating on the bolt.

if i remember correctly this is actually how a heim should be mounted. I think i read in one of seths(twiztedminis) posts or write ups about this. ill try and find it.

oh btw truck is coming back nicely. nice work buddy

jeremy from tre5 did it this way... you can use a smaller heim this way cuz its so much stronger in this configuration..... looks great!!

Got pretty much the rest of the parts from the waterjet today, a few hours of welding and things should be getting painted and starting to go back together.

Thanks man, I cant wait to start putting it back together and get it driving, summers almost over.

I remembered seeing Seth do it that way one one truck years ago, not really sure which one, but I figured I would give it a try.
