Guitplayer, I have been following your progress with this steering box as I have the same part from CPP. I had some issues with CPP's Customer Service folks when I ordered the steering box, I did manage to get the box in the end but through another vendor. I only have the box mocked up at this point and have not had the opportunity to try it out. After re-reading this thread it seems to me that your correct, that there is a design problem. You should not have needed to adjust a "New" steering box.

I may have similar problems once I get the Truck together, so I'm interested in just how you work through this. My Truck has a 4" dropped axle and front sway bar, I also used an adjustable drag link. Like you, when trying to "center" the steering box, I had problems as well. I did just as you have done and moved the pitman arm a spline or two to reach the correct alignment. I have the toe in set and the wheels center as now, so time will tell if I have it right.

As for being here to learn and help, your spot on. The function of the site is to share information and knowledge, what your doing is here is just that. Good luck and please follow up with any future adjustments you need to make.
