Do they clear TTI headers? How about Gen III Hemi A-bodies? Am I gonna have to break new ground here? Stock arms have about 1/2" of clearance to my headers now. My idler arm is loose and for the money, im thinking might as well get the Proforged fast ratio arms.


Mopar to the bone!!!

TTIs 1&5/8 shorties & 1&3/4 longtubes don't fit FFIs quick ratio pitman/idler arms on a bodies according to their site frown

I just got a set of the FFI quick ratio steering arms. Hopefully they fit with the Hedman tight tubes in an A-body. Too bad they only have 1/4" thick flanges.

I got the FFI qr idler installed today, had to grind a good amount off of the ends of the bushing bolt tube to get it to fit inside the k-frame mounting with their thick washers.I didn't get the qr pitman installed because I'm worried about its lack of orienting keys and how the hell i'm going to get it properly aligned with the steering wheel. Guess i'll have to go spline by spline until I get it right with wheels mounted all new tierod ends and adjusting sleeves along with qr arms.
