    Is the pitman arm supposed to be pointing straight back when in the centr position of the steering wheel? Or is it off to the side? I am thinknig straight back. If so i cant use that beefy pitman arm. Can it be clocked and still work OK??

    Yep Dan it can work. You need to center the box and steering wheel, then center the wheels and adjust the draglink length to compensate. May have to adjust draglink length to get vehicle to steer straight down the road. I don't think its ideal, but it will function and if adjusted right you won't notice. Mines that way. :rofl:

    Honestly don't know. Have to bolt it up to find out. Would be nice if it all just bolted up.
