Well done sir!Looked at it one too many times I just need to finish welding.

I used two pieces of flat bar to take the place of the compressed shocks (16” eye to eye) I tacked a bar pin to the top and bolted it to the upper mount and drilled the bottom and bolted to the lower shock mount, then I took a measurement from the front and the back of the perch and averaged the two and came up with 8 inches (I should have just used the shorter dimension) I cut two pieces of 4 inch PVC pipe to 8 inches in length on my miter saw, I set those on the lower perches and put the upper perches on top and raised the rear end back up to where the flat bar held it at compressed length and that is what set my perch to height and square to the lower one.Did your height change at all?
There is more clearance at the diff cover when cycled. The RE bar had a little more droop but the heim was getting a little crusty. the RJ bar, with my lift was already part way into its travel down at ride height, a little friendly massage on the HF press fixed it. Finally broke down and bought a spring compressor too.Did you notice any increase in clearance from the RE, or was it MC, to the Currie TB?
It’s a huge Improvement and somewhat simple to do. I thought about it a long time ago using RHD components, but never sourced the parts to do it plus it adds more separation from the track bar on the axle side, then came the CE CurrectLink and I never thought about just flipping the one side.It’s really awesome how much more clearance flipping the tie rod gives.
This is where the old RE bar would touch, the RJ bar has an offset that gives it more clearance.Did you notice any increase in clearance from the RE, or was it MC, to the Currie TB?
I’ll be keeping the ARB twin to run the lockers but this will be my go to for all other air needs.Nice work but man I thought I didn't have any room with my V-8. That is a tight fit but it looks great. Hope their new style compressor works good for you.

I wonder if that’s why the kit didn’t come with an oil separator/filter or at least mine didn’t. I was very pleased to get a hand written check from ORO for $89.00 in with the instructions, not sure what it was for as there was no explanation. I plan on calling them tomorrow to ask about it and the filter. Overall I’m very happy with the quality and fit in general, I have read that the spacers and the bolts at the bottom of the bracket are an issue but on mine all the hardware worked with exception of the large spacer and the bracket touching the block requiring minimal grinding.I look forward to reading what you think of they new compressor from ORO. I bought one but it'll be a while before mine s up and running so your shakedown of it will be nice to read about. I think I have one of the very FEW Dodge magnum V-8 bracket kits that Kilby made years ago.
As I wrote in Alex's thread I've burnt up a compressor before when I cut a air bag and my compressor was running for 3-5 minutes I'd guess. Steve from ORO helped me rebuild it but it never really worked right after that. I think this is my number 3 or 4 compressor now. Another member has one also and he'd mentioned he was getting some oil in his lines which this new one isn't suppose to do.

In the kit description it says the following;You didn't get a filter like this in the kit?

When I talked with Steve this summer he told me I wouldn't need all the filters I use to run but I thought you still needed this one.
Be interesting to hear what they have to say and what they'll tell you.
