Another great writeup Bird.

It's a great opportunity to do shocks and UCAs if you're doing it yourself and have the parts.

I did mine in my garage over the course of a couple nights. I didn't use a lift, but I did use two jacks and a couple jack stands.

Which pic? This is the one of the double shear connection.

As always, nice write up Bird! I do like the double shear connecting points for sure!

Thanks for the info Bird

Fantastic write up Bird! Thanks for making sense out of a difficult topic.

Outlaw has marketed welded gussets on their knuckles for some time now, and it looks like SDHQ has improved on that idea with the tie rod double shear connection. Definitely looks like it would decrease the chance of tie rod failure.

Awesome write-up, Bird!

Thanks for this Bird.

Thanks for this Bird.

I think Motu's knuckles were bent as a result of Busa's fat ass crawling around his truck all day.

Very nice write up and glad to see SDHQ is offering the double sheer. It's a must needed upgrade. I have seen a few one offs that Outlaw has done but they have not put into production.
