Re: 55-59 4x4 build....STEERING
I have.
DONT. You lose a stupid amount of turning radius. At stock (well, sagged) height with stock sized tires I need a ton of wheel spacer, like 1 1/4", and still had to adjust the steering stops way out. Parking or even getting out of an in-town driveway are a big PITA, have to time my exit from my kids school so I'll be able to occupy both lanes for a little bit as I turn the barge out of the driveway. Biggest POS kit... really not happy with how that worked out, to the point where I'm thinking about taking a grinder and removing the whole mess and going to an IFS, just on the steering radius issue. Note that if you are going to run appreciably wider axles you may not have this issue but at the stock 62" WMS to WMS, it's a problem.
