Thanks! I think with all jobs like this once you do it a first time, you feel like you could do another one and another one and another one down the road and even shave a few hours off the job.Looks amazing. Great job doing battle with those stubborn old pins.
@pb4ugo so this rod/guy? Loosen coupler/clamp here and at passenger side (meaning both ends) and turn rod to right to lengthen or left to shorten (steering wheel will also turn either way depending on direction)Because you raised the height between the frame and frt axle, you need to lengthen the relay rod. It's the link that goes from the center arm to the passenger tie rod. You're just centering your steering wheel. Your toe should not have changed.
The drag link (if stock set up) is in the DS fender well and runs from the steering box pitman arm foward long the frame to the center arm at the front frame cross member. Adjusting the length of that arm allows you to center the steering wheel.
Good point, I'm running 4" skyjackers and made the adjustment to the drag link. I guess the best option would be to adjust both to maximize thread engagement on both rods (relay & draglink)This is true, but in this case the vehicle has been lifted and the distance between the frame and axle was changed. Imo, the adjustment should be made with the relay rod.

My truck is not turning one way from what I can tell. It’s the steering wheel center that is off. That to me speaks to drag link - which is what I was thinking of from the beginning.That, and if the relay is too short, it can make the vehicle turn more one way than the other.
Supposedly yes.Do people actually look for old factory springs?
