Noticed slight bump steer with this set up. I suspect because the tie rod angle is no longer parallel to the ground. I was wondering if it would be possible to flip the tie rods from under the steering knuckles to the top using a kit similair to the one found on: www.rock-equipment.com Any Input?

I could easily give you the link, but that wouldn't teach you to search. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Mike "Damn the carnage!

Moving the TRE to a different spot will change that geometry. This is not an issue in a solid axle as the TRE doesn't pivot relative to the axle/wheel.
