No worries lol
I didn't go into the leverage aspect though... to be fair, I'm running a 2.5x8 ram on my super duty axle that cycles stop to stop, so the leverage isn't my biggest concern(and i haven't gotten it off jack stands to see how it will perform:homer:), my concerns with this particular setup are the angles from knuckle to the ram... seems like he's putting major leverage on the ram mounts...

Yes. My concern as well.
 
Stock steering arm length and a 8" ram is the perfect match for steering and has been for years. Those arms are long AF.
 
I have plates to put on top and bottom of bar to keep the rod and ends protected. On the diff side the plates will bolt to tabs on the cover so it can be removed.

chaplinfj60. Are you the kind of wheeler that likes to hit an undercut at 20 mph? Gonna be cart wheeling down bouncer hills to the bottom?

I’ve seen those kind of angles result in bent ram shafts but in competition use. I’ve got trail wheeling buddies that are running tie rod angles like that with 42’s full of water and not having issues due to it. A couple guys in the group have been in bad enough bind to have broken the inner C’s and not bent the Ram shaft

No. Identify as a rock crawler with mild bad decisions but usually don’t bounce ledges with the front. The back. Game on.
I get what your saying though.

If I were you, I’d run it like that and enjoy the ram being so much further up out of the way than your buddies. That you can get right up on top of stuff that others are plowing their ram mount into.

This. Run it. Ive never set up or seen one not work just fine even with major angle. Sure it's not "correct" but who cares man as long as it works.
 
Abandoned that. !!!!!!
Back to original. And made it work. Fucking a I take the long way around a simple problim sometimes. But I need to explore all ideas I guess
Pics coming. Slow net
 
Move bolt location. Thanks for that idea. Went to 6.5 from center of KP. That line on the ram is how much more I can go in. So grind steer
