Now back to my original thought before I got on my soapbox a few minutes ago. I was lucky enough to not even know my left lower A arm socket had spun till I went to take it out friday night and put in adjustable porkchops. My wife wanted to go camping this weekend and everyone knows what happens if mama isn't happy, no just kidding, I wanted to go as bad her her.
So I remember a suggestion of spacing the tbar back into the good reinforced area of socket and moving the crossmember back 2 inches. Worked like a champ except fpr the interference from the exhaust Y. So my question is, It looks like the spot I have the Tbar at now is much stronger than the unreinforced area it was at. So has anyone ran tbars spaced like this very long, or do I go ahead and start looking at 1 ton conversion and be done with it. By the way I expect the cat to come back soon, he left in a hurry when I got the tbar to pop loose using my combination of pipe wrench and floor jack to twist the bar the opposite way, he was next to it when it popped loose.
