90-1500

Made a little more progress today.
Steering box swapped, Easy enough.
Pitman arm nut is bigger than any wrench or socket I have. Google says 1-5/16 ordered one of those. (Hope that's right)

I need to remember to be sure the new steering box is centered before I try and tighten the Pitman arm.

Idler arm swapped, center link bar replaced.

I accidentally cross threaded the low pressure power steering hose, so 25 dollars later that's fixed.

I need to torque everything still.
I'm still waiting on brake parts too. So after tie rods I'm sort of stuck until stuff arrives.

Dude what a thread! Just read it all. I’m digging it

4th pic, that o-ring looks like it's flattened where it seals. I'd replace it if you have one handy.

that was the one I cross threaded anyway, I knew the O ring was questionable at best, then I boogered the threads. I'll likely make a post later about the High pressure side leaking, so be prepared.

I still have a ways to go finishing things up. But what a difference...

I like the after! Did those adjuster sleeves come with the front end kit?

The tie rod sleeves?
They are Cunningham machine peices. Pretty hefty pieces.

We're still rolling...

New pads, calipers, and steel braided brake lines. I have most of the linkage tight, cotter pins in place. I need to do final torque on the AArms still, bleed the brakes, try and set the alignment. (We'll see how that goes).

I ended up using the factory front sway bar, but man it's heavy AF. I had to use an adapter to work with the QA1 lower a arms.
Poly bushings also.

I need to find a clamp or something to hold the brake line to the a arm .

Im anxious to see how low its going to be. It claims a 4 inch drop, i think it was only 2 before.
