will this cause bumpsteer

heres a picture of what im workin on should i flip the tie rod to compensate for flipping the lower ball joint? the picture roughly shows ride height to me it doesnt look right but would like suggestions

Yeah, that is going to have some serious bumpsteer issues. You might need to do more than just flip the tierod, but that is a start.

well i have flipped the tie rod its much closer to a level plane but its still not...id say its a couple degrees off how bad will this effect the bumpsteer and exactly what is bumpsteer say driving down the road like an explanation on what it feels like...ps still waitin on my shirt LOL

You hit a bump and the truck steers on its own.

if you flip the lower ball joint you will prob need to not only flip the tie rod but also raise the upper arm to keep everything in line....

the lower is already flipped i dont know how you would go about raising the lower control arm brackets that would be extensive..the tie rod is much better now that it is also flipped like i had said before

Obviously, lhe least amount of toe in and out when the suspension cycles is best, but a small amount of toe change isn't terrible. It's your pocketbook that is having to pay for tires.

Bump steer will either have excessive steering input over bumps, or cause the truck to dart when hitting bumps.

i have cycled the suspension to see the change its not very much at all this is when its fully layed out so i dont know if i should leave it or try and move the center link up but that would mean moving the box and pitman arm as weel

Just run it and see how bad it is when it's on the ground.

as you know this is shreks expo he lives down there in riverside and im in bako it will not be driveable when it leaves here cuz the exhaust will not be on it so what would you recommend...you get that note on the shirt?
