Center link orientation please...

After installation of the front suspension on a friends '68 I have concerns with the left side inner tie rod trying to rub the lower lip of the cross member. Just wanting to make sure everything is positioned correctly being I wasn't the one to take everything off for restoration...Thanks Ed

When the truck is off the stands and the tires on the ground with weight on them, it should clear just fine

Are you running an upper bump stop? I see you have a lower but cant tell on the upper.

Also, is your pitman arm torqued in these pictures? It looks like there are alot of splines above the arm.
