so i feel like an idiot. i moved the box as far forward as possible even went as far as to notch the rad support and im still having an issue with the pitman arm clearing. im thinking im either gonna shorten it or just gonna try a flat arm. idk anything helps. flame on

 

Flat arm will be worse.

Where is it not clearing?

Instructions say to test fit with TREs attached and the rest for clearance, THEN weld out.

:wabbit2:

 

its not clearing the arms. i think im just gonna shorten it. and i did test fit but with the old front leafs before i put the ruf. and i forgot that i would be moving two inches forward. also one thing i dont get is that the top of the box is through the rad support so how did i not move it forward enough? maybe should have just cut the mount plate.

 

it looks like you could have gone further forward.
what part are you going to shorter? the pitman arm?

 

Yeah unless someone has a better alternative? Any ideas help I don't want to shorten the pitman arm. Someone else has to have had this problem when they put the rear springs up front. Also my 3rd member is like pointing at the ground. So I know the angle is gonna be bad. Maybe I did something wrong?

 

if you shorten your pitman arm seems like you won't have the full range of motion and end up with a Suburban style turning radius....

 

thats what i was thinking about. which is why i think im gonna try and find another way around it. i seriously can not be the only guy who messed this up

 

HI There holmgreen, just from reading this it seems you could just cut the ifs box mounting plates and re install further forward ?? but then you'de need new mounting plates probably .
Hope I'm close on this .good luck
