Front end steering.
I lowered my truck all the way around and just recently took it to the shop for an alignment. I got it home and didn't notice any problems. (But it's only a few blocks). I got it home and immediately started working on replacing the rag joint and cleaning up the steering column. I took the entire column apart...from the steering wheel down. Cleaned it replaced rag joint and a few other things. Now I'm having an impossible time. I put column all back together but now it only turns one full turn left and two turns right. (From center) Am I missing something? Is it in the pitman arm? From lowering it? My column? I just need some advise. Thanks!

Re: Front end steering.
you may have put the pitman arm back in incorrectly, if you did take it off. if that's not the issue, make sure there is no interference with the steering shaft. I put a chevy column in my jeep and had interference issues that caused the same thing.

Re: Front end steering.
If you have a helper, get the front wheels off the ground, climb underneath and have a listen while someone turns from lock to lock. and just see what you can see.

Re: Front end steering.
This may be too simple but I have had Two different shift pointers slip down into the column and would not let the shifter go into park. Make sure that your N/S sw isn't binding or something like that keeping you from turning.
