I got almosa 3 inches out of the steering box, so that should definitly help. I will post pics when I'm done, so everyone can see another way to hopefully hel...

i have found a way to move the steering box up almost 3 inches. i will post pics when im done, hopefully in the next few weeks. it requires some frame notching and modifications, but i think wll work very well, and as a bonus, now i dont think i will have to cut my pitman down an inch. i hope the pi...

I will not use parts off of anything but dodge for this truck, so the option about the box is out of the question, im sure if i keep lookingaro...

I see that cantspell said you can actually have the drag link welded so that answers that question, now that i look. and my piman measures about7 3/8, so i will look around and see if i can find one thats 6 3/8. im hoping it is the same spline? Thanks

Robin, thanks for the info. i cant seem to grasp how shortning the pitman and bending the drag link eliminates or helps bumpsteer, altho it obviously works, because everyone says this is the best way. the only reason i can think of is because it puts less bind on the whole steering assembly with a s...
