Re: Leaf spring to bump stop dimensions

Thank you Hemi, dimensions are always helpful, I've found lots of dims for the body and door openings, but limited in suspension.

Went out and checked, the output shaft has a lot of wobble/play and the steering box clicked at one point while turning the wheel. The frame looks solid, has en extra plate welding in that area already.

This is weird since this is a rebuilt steering box that i put on back just before I did the body work in 2011, the box has less than 1,500 miles on it.

I'll search the web / forum for box adjustment and rebuild guides.

Another thing that is odd is the amount of play that can happen between the steering out put shaft and the hub, lots of play can be absorbed in the pitman and drag link to the hub. Does anyone know of a better set up for this?
I hear about cross over steering for trucks that are lifted over 4", but can this fit/help a stock height truck?

All ball joints, end links, etc.. have less than 1,500 miles and area ll fully greased.

Thank you,
Richard
