square body build 4 link questions

[ben h]

so decided to design it all in fusion this morning because i didnt wanna measure by hand
i think everything came out good?
lower links will be adjustable from 8 degrees or10 degrees thats the 2 different screen shots
building it into a cralwer
have a set of 12in kings that were speced for the weight of the truck
upper link is 75% of lower
started the truss on the axle and lower link mounts on the axle nothing els is made yet just in computer
5.3 swaped th400 205 5.38 gears 39 in boggers
any steering gear ideas since my axle is moved 5in forward? doing hydro assist not full hydro

well made some progress on this. all my brackets got laser cut and i welded them up and welded them to the frame and boxed part of the frame
axle articulates great! pinion anlge doesnt do anything goofy. next waiting on bending up my shock hoops. i went a little overkill at 2in .25 wall for them and well my m605 is only rated at .188 wall

if your still trying to figure out the steering gear look at the 2011+ superduty box. its a massive beast and has a front facing pitman arm. its what I'm using in my 05 2500 with the front end pushed out about 5"

i ended up going full hydro i didnt pay attention to where i put my shock tower and ended up with no room for a steering shaft to sneak by
but i am redoing stuff this winter and may look at that! every one says full hydro is best but im still not sold on it first orbital was crap borrowing a 140ml orbital and it does ok but really sucks not having steering when dead...
