sorry... don't have any pics on my computer any more, but I'll describe it the best I can. for the idler arm, just measure straight up the distance you want to move it, and redrill the two holes. the steering box gets a little more complicated. get some 3/8 stock, and using countersunk bolts, bolt it to the frame where your steering box goes. then measure straight up the same distance you moved you idler arm, and drill your holes to mount your steering box with. you may now have to unbolt the plate... I can't remember. with the idler arm bolted up and the steering box now bolted up, use a torch to start removing the material that is in the way. just keep moving the idler arm back and forth until it has full travel. do the same with the pitman arm. now attach the centerlink and the tierods, and check for clearance again, removing any part of the frame that may still be in the way. Next, using some more 3/8 steal, rebuild the lower flange of the frame going around the steering, essentially creating a "c-notch" around it.
got it??
oh yeah... you will still have to use three flaming river u joints and some double d shaft to go around the control arm... no way around it.
