If the draglink will get into the frame, you may need longer bumpstops.  Will make your springs last longer as well.

A simple tierod flip may help in your situation, using tapered inserts in the steering arms.

I dnt notice any real bad steering w my stock set up with extended drop pit arm. the part where the drag link hits knuckle is 6" above the center link. my drag link will be totally parallel to ground

Is it worth the loss of susp travel just to so i have histeer. i was thinking if i stay w 33's I would be solid with moog tre and a centerlink flip for clearance

By the way JJ. If I sell for cash you are first in line. Otherwise might be looking to package w a 231 for help installing my 8.8 and sye. I think you may be closer to me than bounty hunter.
