I pulled everything on mine apart except the cross member. The a-arms should have no effect on the center link to cross member spacing. The idler arm and steering box are pretty much fixed in their location, is the cross member able to move back at all? That is my only guess at this point is that the cross member is a little more forward than it was before. I know there is not much clearance so even 1/4" could cause a problem. Someone on mere must know more about this than I do.
