Beautiful!!
Can you post a photo with the heim adjusted higher, just for interest.
I assume the "ball" is threaded and locked by the nut, and just end-up with a gap between the ball and "flange" (for lack of knowing the correct terms.)?
How do we hold the ball to stop it turning while tightening the lock-nut?
Or is it unthreaded and we put a nut on either side?
You install the pin into the spindle. You hold it in place using its keyed base plate. You then tighten the lock nut very tightly. Now, then pin is mounted solidly into the spindle and should not rotate. You can now add the base "cup", Heim joint with misalignment spacers, and top lock nut.
To further clarify, this setup, as pictured, puts the Heim joint about two inches above the spindle, which works well with OME, BB and other typical 2-3" lifts. It sets the steering geometry back closer to pre-lift factory specifications, and has another 1" of further height adjustment to accommodate higher setups.

That answers my question thanks for the info and photo!
I'll be ordering a few things in ~6 months when time allows.
It looks like when all tightened up, the base cup is compressed against the spindle rather than against the base plate of the pin. That should eliminate any torque/stress through the "extended" section of the pin ay?
