if you are doing new springs (you need 3" of lift to clear high steer) with a new front mount, mount your springs and axle before you do the IFS box mount--saves you having to move it again...

one of the better examples I have seen:

Angle it so the holes line up on the frame in the center and then test fit your mounting plates. Tack weld and test fit again to make sure the pitman arm clears and weld out.




what you don't want to have happen when you install your high steer:

Never installed that kit, but the basic idea is to shove the box as far forward and as high as you can get it and go from there:



Or contact TG for specifics.
