Im not 100% convinced that even with 8"+ lift I could have highsteer. The tie rod gets in the way of the drag link with my arms.

my new springs were 8" taller than my 6" springs and alot stiffer so thats 14, then i lowered the spring buckets down to where the top of the spring is at the top of the frame so thats like 8ish, so thats 22, 3" body lift makes 25" give or take........but since the housing is 4" tall and my sprin mounts are like 2.5" over that sooooooo, i dont know how much the spring mounts stand on the stock axle......its alot!
