Cheers for the post will.... i'm sure i read the first part twice lol
Having looked at the hubs closer (i started the thread when i was away from home), i agree...it's not easy to "just" add a high steer arm.
A rough idea we came up with is to weld higher up on the hub a new arm coming outwards. At the same time as bring braces down each side for added support.
Do the same on both hubs (utilising a LHD) so you can add the brace down the side.
Yes i realise a vertical brace is not a lot of help for horizontal forces, but every little bit helps
With regards to tre's, i've got a double ended ram so will run rosejoints on either end and get rid of the standard LR steering link that sits behind the axle.
I don't wish to spend a lot on this, just merely testing ideas for when i build the next one using my portals.

P.S. welding will be done by a mate who's got parts in the A380 and tig's all day long for a job
Edit : made a small typo about a parts name
