ifs power steering box movement...

[MIG'DHORSE]

I'm about to start a solid axle swap here in the next month. I have been on pirate, and noticed how some people doing the swap relocate their box further forward and adjust it. I have also seen how some don't move it at all. I want my axle as far forward as necessary to clear some 39.5's running trail gear 4" or maybe even 3" springs. will i need to move my box? or is it fine in its original ifs placement? Also... about the pitman arm... should i reinforce it? or just replace it when it eventually breaks? I appreciate all help and input.

I mounted mine as far forward as possible, especially if you move your axle forward. I moved mine 3" forward and my steering box is through the core support. The drag link has to remain in front of the tirod at full stuff, you don't want them to cross! Does that make sense?

I also run Sky's flat billet pitman arm for strength.
