@strikk, I know how that is, Wanting to see a look of progress. Dont blame you.
I know you are going a different direction with your steering but I will get a pic of how much clearance my set up has so you can see how much clearance I got. Hopefully it will give you some ideas to yours when you come up with your solution.
When I was looking at the steering, I was thinking I was gonna need a Ford steering gear box cause on their trucks, the pitman faces the front of the truck. On ours, it faces the rear. When I was getting ideas after the front was installed, I found that I can keep my steering box. I will though need a dropped pitman to ensure without a doubt that everything clears even under articulation.
Now....The pic is not my final set up. I was just seeing how far off I was. When I turned the truck around to do the rear, I kinda have to half ass the steering so I could turn it around. But I think for my setup, A shorter drag link(turning it in I was still off by a good 2") and a drop pitman, I should have no problems in binding, articulation, and geometry.
