running 35's questions
Already have a 4 inch lift with drop pitman arm brackets and was going to go up to 6 inches and 35's...My main question is about bracing the power steering section of the frame...on my last f150 it was cracked there and it scares the living ***** out of me to have it crack on this truck . So what do folks do to not have this issue? I have been going over threads for the last week or so, but cant find any solid answers. Links would be great as well. Also, please dont recommend that I do a SAS..only because im already salivating about it as is and I know I cant afford it for at least a few years.

If you're supposed to do it, someone is going to sell a plate to weld in. I found a power steering reinforcement plate/pump mount for my 1962 Jeep project (1980 drivetrain & reman PS gearbox)
I couldn't find anything for '80's-'90's Fords on SummitRacing, but I did find one for a 70's bronco here (poke around on the site maybe they have the specific part you need for your truck): https://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/prod...-backing-plate

I have made the braces for cracked F150 frames, trucks that got thrashed hard, one was stolen and abandoned when the steering box came loose.
I don't think there is a plug and play, never look back system. If you want to run modified, then routine inspection of the truck is advised. Drive it for a week without power steering belt, you'll learn to only steer only when the truck is moving. Cranking those bigger tires when the truck is sitting still puts huge loads on all the steering parts.
