Re: Lowered leaf spring question
Whichever one you need to get your drag link close to level with the truck on the ground. Most likely the 6". It will actually make your steering effort slightly less (better leverage) but will increase your turning radius as the box will stop sooner than before in both directions. Don't forget to adjust your steering stops on the axle after installing a shorter pitman arm. It's bad for the steering box to bottom out the gears inside instead of the axle stops.
