In the process of doing the RUF springs and cross over steering on my 83 yota. I bought the trail gear mounting plates, and have an IFS box with a stock (??) drop pitman with the reamed hole for a FJ80 tie rod end.

With the RUF conversion it pushed the axle at least 2" forward. I can't get the steering box moved forward enough or rotated up enough so that the pitman won't hit the springs under compression or else the crossover link binds up on the tie rod link.

Searched pirate and can't find a straight answer. I'd really hate to hack on the core support since it is the only solid piece on the front dog house. Thought about ordering a flat pitman arm, but not sure if that would solve my problem. Anyone been through this and have any advice?
