Ahhh, that's a bit more like it.
4" springs, 1" zero rates in front
4" shackle flip in rear
35X12.50 R15 Maxxis Bighorns
In the future, my plan is to move the axle forward 1.5", crossover steering, and go to 37's, but I will need some better axles first. Plus these tires have like 200 miles on them, so that may be a ways off.

The only thing is that the wheels turn more to the right than to the left. I had this setup in my old truck without any trouble, except that was without the zero rates. So I guess I gotta adjust my pittman arm to steering knuckle link. Is there that much adjustment in it?

Damn! I though my front bumper was huge:eek1:

Does the truck drive in a tighter circle to the right at full lock? The drag link adjusts how the steering wheel sits compared to the tires, minimal adjustment makes a large difference in the position of the steering wheel, however its possible that your drag link can be a little too long or too short causing the steering wheel to be off one full rotation:dunno:.
 
Yeah, I'm gonna do something about that front bumper. I'm thinking the zero rates have to be the difference, need to lengthen the drag link some.
