Re: Steering linkage issue

NOT sure if this positioned right I didn't drill the 2nd hole. Just doesn't seem like it can go in any other way. Am I wrong?

Re: Steering linkage issue

I always recommend installing the steering box first. When using the template with my steering box adapter plate, the steering box will be in the correct location. Then with the steering box bolted up and the pitman arm installed, position the draglink so that it is the same distance from both the bottom of the frame and the suspension crossmember on the passenger side as it is on the drivers side. Then that is where the idler arm must be. The draglink must be parallel to both the frame and the suspension crossmember.

Re: Steering linkage issue

Does it matter if frame is on jack stands or should the tires be on and on the ground ? Everything is bolted down except idler allso what about the sway bar seems to me it would be beter to have the truck on the ground or at least jack stands under the lower a-arm's.
