Re: JPOR: Spring over steering

[Jeff <jayers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking at the same thing.  I got some quotes from Dynatrac and Tri
County Gear via the phone the other day, but can't remember the numbers
accurately.  I also emailed parts mike, but haven't gotten anything
back.  I did recently see some pics of an arm that Beaches Offroad in
Utah installed on an axle they built.  I think they made the arm
themselves.  Didn't Bart Jacobs have a local to him shop make some arms
for his xj,s front d44?  Just some thoughts.  Jeff
