Re: progress pics

Has anybody tried moving the steering box and idler arm up on the frame an 1" or so? Or bending the pitman arm flat and raising the idler arm an equal amount to raise the linkage?

You would have to notch the frame for clearance, but it could help you use less joints in the steering shaft if the box was higher. I am looking into this for my cross member chop to avoid linkage / u bolt interference.
