so i got my hy steer installed and my truck isnt quite tall enough for it. the bottom of the pitman arm is hitting my leaf spring. well actually the zerk fitting is but w/e. at normal sitting height its about an inch off but after driving around you can see the line it made on the spring and the zerk fitting is all jacked up. so, if anybody out there or local or whatever can possibly loan me a set of shackles or taller leafs that would be nice. its probably going to be another month or so before the long travel goes on. just need something to hold me off. if anyone has trashed stock leaves i can chop up and make add-a-leafs out of. just anything i dont want to hit a speed bump and screw up my steering box

 

any pics of how you mounted your box? i set mine up originally with a stock replacement pitman arm and a drag link adapter, but i got very little suspension travel since the pitman has a tapered end and the threads and nut stick out from the bottom.

my solution was buying sky's 3/4" less drop than stock pitman arm, i can now flex out what travel my suspension has without touching the springs.

 

yea my buddy told me about sky's pitman arm that was flat and didnt bend like an 's' like the one i got from marlin. but thats an extra 100 bucks when im getting long travel in about a month. i'll grab some pics later but it hangs right above the leaf about an inch away

 

Drop the front spring hanger:

Or for now, just stick a taller bumpstop on that side to keep from hitting.
