    i'm building a 1/2 ton '36 pu with the orignal axle and steering, how much clearence should i have between my frame and the drag link to allow enough travel so they don't come into contact??? should i put some sort of a bump stop???

    compress the suspension to its max and see if you can turn it side to side.... Worst comes to worst get some nice dom (thick wall) and make a dropped drag link...
