Thanks! I am looking near the front right tire. It looks like there are three items (each with a blue arrow pointing to them) that connect at a common point where the red arrow is pointing. Can you take a picture more from the top like the red arrow is pointing?

Does anyone else see this or is it just me and my imagination?

that is a standard F350 front steering components. it looks like 3 pieces, but it is actually only 2




and before you ask, the flat stock coming down from the front bumper is added support for the lower snow plow mount that was removed when this pic was taken to remove a kink in the mount.

TLC, I see what your pic is showing and it looks like my setup.

But I see something different in Chrisrehpot's pic.

But then I've seen Sasquatch. (I have NOT seen a Unicorn though.)

I also see what you're talking about, but it has to be some sort of illusion.

I think you and TJC Transport are right. The piece the red arrow is pointed to is the dust boot.

Dang it, I was hoping it was a design that limited tie rod roll.

Thanks!

If you look at picture #3 on my first post you will see a 2" block. I do appreciate very much all the info. Looks like I will be doing that 4" RSK with the rear flip too so I can swap over to SD springs. When I do it I will post before and after picks on this forum. Be closer to summer time.

It is! Thanks for humoring me...I was seeing something that wasn't there. Hope I can return the favor sometime.

Looks like someone tried to copy an 80's magazine truck... Where's the 72 chrome shocks?

Somewhere in a junkyard a dump truck missing it's rear springs.

Sky off road will recommend the right length.
