steering and 42s

Your on the right track with bleeding the steering. I would jack it up again and go full lock to full lock about 100 times. Make sure that your fluid is not frothy to begin with and have a buddy moniter the level and add fluid if necessary. It could just be the pump- i'm on my fourth pump on this truck and some have worked much better than others right out of the box. When I built this truck last year, the pump and box that I got from O'reilly's worked perfectly. I could turn my 42's on concrete at idle. The pump I have on there now is not quite as powerful. It sorta bothered me until I went hydro assist

If you have access to heavy truck wrecking yard you can find the stuff to make it work. Most of the tie-rods I come across out there have a 1.5" clamp- same size as my tie-rod. I just used the stock stabilizer mount on the axle and positioned the other end wher it needed to be on the tie-rod. If you have a stock tie-rod then you can just use your stock stabilizer pieces to make it work. I was worried that a clamp wouldn't hold up to the force of the hydro assist but I can pull my truck up next to a wall and move the whole truck sideways with just the tires. The clamp hasn't budged yet!

for now im just bleeding the box, just so i can drive it around.
