Well im finally done! It steer's great too! I can tell a big difference from the stock steering! And i went out and tested on some rocks too and still works great!
It took awhile to figure out where i was going to put it, i deciceded to mount it under the left coil which worked out perfect! here are some pictures..

Unless I am retarded.. how do you see that interferring with the track bar ?

I just don't see it going over that far...

i know that would be an issue at least with the dt crap bar. they push the frame side of it forward to clear the diff. i think i remember looking to mount in that spot and finding that it would contact.

Nice install... :bigthumb:

What trackbar are you running, like said before, the DT won't give you enuff room to run it in that location becasue their offset so far forward...

Here is mine with the DT track bar. But, I have changed the steering. My tie rod is a little bit forward and higher than stock.

By the way, Have you noticed that turning right is easier than turning left?

Which cylinder is that? I have been looking at the PSC stuff.

damn, you beat me to it. i have had my setup sitting for a year now...

i've been waiting on Don's steering stuff to show up, and its now supposed to be here next week hopefully. maybe i can get all my stuff changed over the hydro installed this month sometime!

looks good in that location. btw guys, his truck does not flex that much unfortunatly (whiplash lift has stiff springs and compression is minimal due to link and mount locations) so he should not have any clearance issues.

that is the result of an unbalanced cylinder. the piston extending has more power because it doesnt have the rod taking up that volume. that allows more fluid which means more power.

is the bracket welded to the tie rod?
if so andthe tie rod goes bad you have to cut it off and reweld it.
