I was joking last night about doing precisely that just to piss everyone off

We jacked it up near the limit of the suspension travel and turned it back and forth to check clearance - but I need to do more checking.

The parts list in the first post was correct.

The ES2027L draglink end requires a bigger hole in the pitman than the stock setup - so we reamed that out bigger ($70 reamer bit from complete offroad). We also had to ream out the ES2233L. The hole that was in it was very small and tapered for rear entry ( ). The stock knuckles were fine - no reaming there.

The tierod is 41". ETA:: Draglink is 26".

I took the links off again tonight to clean 'em up and paint 'em.
