Yes, a far amount of work. Reminded me of the fun we had with the front diff swap <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Remember that effort Angelo?! I'd already done the swap and back once <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

'Uncranking' the t-bars would help, but then I'd loose ride height and the front would be lower than the back. I did think about long UCA mounting bolts. That's the logical solution for sure. Only trouble is on a Gen2, there is barely enough space on the d/s to get a socket on the nuts as it is. No room for longer bolts as far as I can see. Also, I'm not sure I like the idea of, may be a couple of inches, of more, of spacers and I'd worry that the UCA would interfere with the shock at full drop. Good idea though Doug.

Yeah, the tie-rod angles looked a little extreme.

I got the spacers from plh on here. They are beautifully made.

I think I'll just have to accept that I have max'd out the IFS. D44 is the next option <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> That's down the road though.
