steering help

Hey guys im having a problem mounting my steering box. The only place I can put it on the frame will drop the pitman arm 4" lower than the steering knucle. Will this give me bump steer, I am running paralell leafs. thanks I hope this makes sense

 

Can you post a picture of the mock up? I am a "visual" person.

 

did i miss something? what box are you running and fame mods?

 

Sorry guys I left out alot of details its a 36 chevy truck and I am trying to use most of the stock stuff including the steering box. The frame is z'ed front and rear and Im running the stock parrelell leafs front and rear

 

The part I am talking about is the steering arm, does it have to be parelell to the ground? It is going to be 4' long and angled down 4" in the back will it be ok?Thanks

 

If you are referring to the drag link, yes it should be parallel to the ground or very close to it. Four feet long sounds like it could be a problem too.

Here's mine on my 40.

 

cowl steering is my only other option

 

mustang box will point your arm up instead of down....not your stock box but an option....can you reverse your chev box?

 

Thanks but that would put my box way to low

 

How about when I extend my drag link I bow the end down and then it will be parelell except for the end?

 

What about building a bracket to mount your steering box on top of the frame? You would have to cut your steering shaft and install u joints but it shouldnt be that tough. Kinda hard to see from the pics how and where the box mounts.
