<strong>Everything is tight and the arm has not moved on the shaft. I marked it when I put it on. My jam nuts on my tie rod and drag link are marked and have not moved. The only thing I didn't measure was actual height gained when I put it on but the front seems to be sitting at least 1 1/2" lower than before.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Is this due tot he spring settling? If so, your drag link angle has changed due to the settling. When it goes from a steep to a shallow angle, it gets "longer" so to speak and this pushes against the pitman arm, so its as if you are turning the wheel to the left (CCW) to maintain a straight ahead direction of travel. You may simply need to re-adjust the drag link length to compensate for the change in ride height.

Note: This is the same thing that causes bump steer, hit bump, compress springs, drag link lengthens and causes a slight, momentary steering change.

And ditto on the reinforced steering box
