Something I picked up from those smartasses over at the Audiworld forums....
This Post Is Worthless Without Pics.

Ride Height

Full Bump, looks kinda mean I think!

Note cutout for tie rod. It may have to be enlarged slightly, but this is the only major modification to the body, one of my primary goals in this endeavor

Fills in the 2" wider fenders quite fully. I may still need to widen the top of the fender to allow decent steering in bump. I've already completely removed the stock-style lip on the edge of the fender, but it still binds when turning sharply in a bump position. Clears with room to spare currently at ride height.

Sweet!
Folks gonna be driving you crazy wanting this! But the part where it aint cheap will thin out the tire kickers. I would love to see this under my bus! I just haven't figured out how to reverse the rack and pinion.

YEAH! Then with different sprockets I could get the ratio down to one turn, lock to lock. I LIKE IT! Just like a go cart!

Really looks awsome Jason,
I think you got the geometry right. A suggestion for steering might be to consider a draglink setup. So you could use either a stock steering box or a forward steer unit. I guess the only problem with my suggestion would be building your own spindles. More money, Oh well

that's wheels...
Good job...

Hey Pete,

If you take a look, you'll see the rack is already in place. The whole suspension was designed around it. All that is left is to get another tie rod, thread both of them, and shorten them and then hook up the steering wheel. Thanks for the props!
