did any of you have any problems with your steering arms hitting the frame? im sure you did. i know you can notch the frame, but what did you do on the drivers side about the steering box? is there possably a new steering arm you can buy, if so from who?

what problems are you having with the steering box? Everyone notches the frame for the tie rods in order to lay out. Are you having with the steering linkage to the wheel binding up?

the passenger side is notched, but you cant do the badger with the drivers side because of the steering box. If you lay it out and hit or bend the steering arm, you will never be able to alighn that thing. I think I am about to just build a whole new custom set of tie rod ends and fix the whole problem.
