nice. move your lower axle links to the top side of the axle for more clearance. i also had a 01 blue raptor.... is the front driverside link bent? |

If I'm correct,move your mounting points at the backbone closer to to it.As they are,they are spread too far apart.Other than that,good start.

yea i have some axel steer problems, how could that be fixed? Your backbone is swiveling side to side of the mounting bolt that is holding to the axle. That is causing your links to push and pull on the axle ends causing axle steer. Try welding or epoxying the nuts into the end of the tubing. Looks like a great start. |

Mount the links closer to the backbone. You can try it out by using zip ties. |

Why not just go linkless ? then you will not have the problem of the links or link mounts getting cought on rocks . it will all but stop axle steer . you can make a single drop down bar and bolt it to the axle case like on my old homemade stick . here is some pics might help you .   the rear drop down is a skid also to help the rear side over rocks . the Blue Chevy in this link Started new tuber build is the chassis in the pics . the Vette is also this type of chassis .
