SAS steering rubbing and binding

Hi guys, as stated i am having problems with binding
The sas kit is from all pro and is 4"
ram is TG 6"
the biggest problem is the tie rod and drag link are interfering with each other when driver tire is stuffed into wheel well
heres some pics of my setup

(note i did not do this swap and the shop dont know beans from dirt)








If anyone has any ideas or suggestions let me know. if nothing else i might just load it and take it to scotty at addicted offroad

Take a better pic of the IFS steering box. Looks like it needs a frame reinforcement kit and moved forward.

You need proper ubolt flip plates.

like wabbit said...the steering box needs to go forward

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

Your u bolt plates are just flat plates, no bends on the end to prevent the plates from cupping with the u bolts.

FWIW, those are All-Pro u-bolt plates. They are fine.

I agree that the steering box just needs to be relocated forward. I know we've talked a couple times already, so give me a call. We can fix the issue and move it forward for you.

I've had the same allpro u bolt flip plates on my rear end for the past 2 years and they are fine.
Just my 2 cents.

I've had 2 AP kits and never seen u bolt plates like those. All mine were bent up on the end and thinner.

Tack welds.
