its a 97 g16 I actually added a spacer on top of the spindle part that connects to the tie rod went like 2 1/2 inches on that just so they weren't on so much of an angle.
TROUBADOUR I added about 1 1/2 inches to each of the tie rods. I will post some pics. the 2 last pics are of the lift we just made for my friends g9 with a few things we changed

I was thinking the same thing but dont know where else to mount the other side of the triangle. I need to redo it anyways because its shorter than the lift is.

Shure would have liked to seen the (picture 1) tierod have an extention with tubeing on the outside for more strength. Nice job

Yes I extended the stock ones around 1 1/4-1 1/2 inches each and if you look at pic 3 on post #14 you can see I raised them on the steering knuckles so they weren't on so much of an angle. Also I just added some 400ex shocks

Yeah I would have done it on the outside but wasnt expecting to have to extend them and it was like 2 am and I really wanted to finish it so I just cut some bolts down and used them grade 8 of course.

hey thanks for the help going to cut some c channel for risers and hopefully find some tubing that will go around the tie rods thanks again
