Also it looks like i might have to cut everything off and move the axle forward another 1 or 2 inches, because the tie rod is hitting the pitman arm, just barely on any compression.


Yea, experienced this problem with my setup too. One option to think about as an alternative to moving forward more is to run behind-the-knuckle steering arms. many vendors are making these now.
