My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
The engineering time to get it right and materials are most of that.

Built with my best idea parts is 900 just for joints and plate/tube

I just used a Chevy hd idler and various junkyard parts for a poorboy swingset for one of my many test runs looking for toe control... with ok results with my ttb.


ended up with a e series long side and inverted explorer longside with 5.5 lift and for the most part it was best for control.....basically 5 dollars worth of junkyard parts. There is a quirk in certain situations which I found acceptable. For ideal it needs a slight bend added ..

on a stock ride height situation I am not sure it would work or even be needed.

while i agree its NOT cheap at all id have to argue against you. with the price of chromoly these days id be surprised if they're making any money at all
also youre getting 8 FK heims at 75 bucks a piece. thats $600 in bearings not to mention the 16 misalignment spacers for em at $10 a piece.
