Will that s bar drag link make the steering feel cosniderably tighter than it is now? Or is crossover my only option? I just really want to get away from the loose steering with it being a big truck.

Thanks,

Kyle

Anyone? I'd like to hear some feedback before I order. The guy says its a 6inch lift so will I need a drop pitman arm on top of the adjustable draglink?

Thanks,

Kyle

Make sure your steering slop is not from bad/worn out tie rod ends, ck your steering shaft u-joint (shaft going from fire wall to steering box) it should have a little u-joint, that is prone to go bad.

Ck the steering box it self for excess play, wheel bearings, make sure all the front end parts are torque to specks. Ck the spring bushings, hardware, U-bolts and top plates, spring pads.

I plan on doing a crossover when I can get F350/Ed to come to Missouri, I'll provide the BEER!
