Thanks dude!
I think the main reason I’m able to run straight tie rods is that I have the drop brackets over the cut and turn beams.
Actually I’m not sure now…
My buddy did a dual swinger on his bronco with cut and turn beams and was able to run straight tie rods. And I loosely copied his design for my swingers. Because I have the drop brackets my geometry was different from his.
For example
I’m not sure I needed to make my swingers as long as I did. but it cycles clean.
I really didn’t know what I was doing other than I needed to pick up the lower pivots to not get bump steer. lots and lots and lots of trial and error in this set up. More than I care to admit
I think the bent tie rods are more common with a single swing type of set up?
