Not to disagree with you nate, but the good thing about using a rack and pinion is you can move the whole steering system around a bit for the proper clearance and still retain proper geometry. I am not an expert by any strech, but I have used r&p in places people said it will never work. Or you can fix the whole problem by purchasing a Dropmember kit from Portebuilt (shameless plug for ya nate)
