| Dual 9000t's for the front I don't think you'll have any steering issues, hope your running CVD's. After looking closer I see the CVD's |

Truck is looking good, I love the Don dig setup on mine, works very well. I don't think you have enough oz/in of torque to turn the tires though You should put 2 of the DS8711's on there. |

I wanted to add that your fab work is extremely clean, and the 3 link with a panhard bar definitely works in 1:1, so i bet it works just as good in these things. Drool worthy rig right there.;)

Small update................. I finished up mounting the dig servo and everything works good And heres that pic of the other tranny mount Ive been messin around with the rear link geometry, my first setup had lots of antisquat and would have worked good with suspension that had coils an the shocks topped out. I will post pics after i get it right |

The jr servo arns came in today and the twin servo steering is done All that steering power is causing a little flex on the servo mount and the panhard/link mount, its gonna need a tie brace to beef them up |
