I am considering modifying my stock LCA to an adj rod end and was wondering what you guys think. I modified my spindles so I don't need to lower the ball joint but Coleman sure has some interesting ball joints to do just that if you can use a different taper.
Coleman has lca spacers that are 1.062 long for a 3/4 rod end and 1/2 in hole. With the width of the rod end, it should be very close to the crossmember width, grind as needed to fit. Use a 3/4 bolt on the other end and using a hex inbetween should do it. Should the hex be steel or aluminum and is what they have available strong enough? Coleman carries trailing arm stock in both. The steel is 15/16"x .125 and the alum is 1" hex and no thickness told. Opinions?
