Build thread has details of the revisions. It was difficult to package and not have it limit uptravel.

🙌🏽 thank you sir. Hopefully be able to get some of this buttoned up this winter but in the final stretch of a house remodel and have a 14 day of baby along with 2 older babes, time and money are limited! But definitely get a good game plan

And I've removed a few leafs which has a small wedge so need to figure out which direction to spin it for proper caster. The rear end is waaay off too being that the truck was lifted way up on 44 at one time!
Previous owner definitely didn't do me any favors.

I don't have any bumpsteer at all with my crossover steering. Just about everything in my steering was brand new so kind of tough to have an issue if you get all new parts that are a proven fit.
