steering problems after lift
 
i just finished gettin my BDS 4.5" long arm lift installed, now im havin some clearance issues with the tie rods. on the passenger side, the left side inner tie rod is hitting the sway bar mount on the axel when the wheels are turned all the way to the right. it almost seems like the pitman arm they sent me isnt dropped enough. any of the other lifted truck on here have this issue? if so what did u do to fix it?
i might look into crossover steering

it was a kit from bds. it came with a drop pitman arm. at full lock to the right, the tie rod gets up and behind the mounts for the end links on the axel. its already torn off the zerk fitting and its scrapin pretty hard. i seriously think im gonna go to crossover steering. its stronger n much simpler. i put a couple pics up on my profile on here. i think it looks pretty sweet.
wouldnt have taken so long to put together if it werent for chasin new caster bolts for 2 days n the friday night run to the ER after i was bein stupid n :edit: myself up haha
