I have 6" lift, but I tossed the steering block as I noticed too much flex in it. Good to know about the high steer arms and glad I asked. It did not help that I had bolts in the kingpin, I bought some studs to replace these.

I had another situation come up to where I would be able to use a reamer. What if I just reamed out the hole, replaced the tie rod end with a heim joint and used a grade 8 bolt and nut with the dodge arm?
