On my jeep I am in progress of doing a shackle reversal in the front and flipping the waggy springs I have in the front around so the short side is forward. From my math that should move the front axle about 6" forward of where it is now.
I got a chevy astro steering box, It is a saginaw box and is a direct swap for the stock YJ box, Only main difference is it has a forward facing pitman arm instead of the rearward like the stock yj box. I thought this would be a piece of cake and take care of my steering binding problems, but It looks like it is going to move the attachment point for the draglink on the pitman arm about 12" forward. Which brings me to my question,
Is there going to be ill effects in having the draglink attach 6" further forward than a stock setup? Will this throw off my steering and handling on the road?
