1- How is it putting other road user at risk? A correctly made z link should not be dangerous it may cause some bump steer but how is it more dangerous than than a high steer kit which bolts to the brake caliper mounts?

2- I never said I drive it on the road

3- thanks for helping me find the part I need (hence why I posted in the "I want it thread"

z link puts weak points in the bends. A stock straight draglink bends offroad. A zlink will be worse. Also depends on material etc.etc

Welding to a steering arm is a no no

If its just a trail rig, bodge away no problems.

Build it right first.

Qn 1: Do you drive it on the road?
if yes, stop being a douche and get a highsteer kit.
If no, then bend your original draglink to suit your needs.

Ok so like I said z link made from correct material and bent properly (not heated) should be fine for offroad until funds allow a high steer kit so (brenno) you don't have to shoot me down due to your assumptions, asking questions never hurt anyone, now can i find the parts I need

Bluesuzy- thank you for the input what are your thoughts between the sky high steer from Lowrange and rocky roads kit?

Also brenno do you really think bending a stock drag link which everyone knows bend off road when They are straight is a sensible idea? Never mind the fact that I like being able to turn left? Just asking mate let me know what you think?
Thanks

If your stick and need one mate I might be able to make something. Just have to work out what ends to use. By truck weighs in at 2.5 tone loaded and runs a drag link with multiple bends in it and running 35s with flipped rims. It has never bent at all and it's modd played as well
