Why??

Here is a long winded answer. I started my SAS wanting to keep the truck fairly short and do it fairly inexpensively. So I decided to use rears up front. So I did the RUF, made slightly longer shackles for the rear and added a couple leafs, worked out pretty well except for the fact that my steering wasn't close to clearing. The truck has a 2" body lift on it and I can move the steering box far enough forward without touching the core support as long as I rotate it downward a little. The drop pitman doesn't give me much room for up travel with this setup. Personally I would rather have a non-stock pitman opposed to a cut up core support.

Can you picture how close everything fits up there without lifted springs or a drop hanger? Lucky for me I have a fork lift at work to flex it out and check everything. Which I have done with my bent pitman(had to be able to get the truck out of works garage and drive it a short distance home).

I'm close to taking the thing out for the first time since the swap and that bent pitman was a concern of mine, hence the question.

Thanks for the replies, I'll order one.

I hope to get some pics up in the next couple days. I've gotten a lot of good help on this forum. The least I could do is give you guys some pics <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
