Hey Chucksnowchucker said:as far forward as possible.
the front bolt mount on the ifs box should contact the body mount. on mine, aj's and a few others, we even take out a large chunk of the core support. Aj even removed his body mount all together and fabbed up some new supports. may need to trim some radiator mounting as well. of course all these were designed for the possibility of running 39"+ tires in the future.
the distance/ clearance of your TR, DL, and track bar will eventually locate your front axle. get it all mocked up on jackstands w/ tires, and make sure it wont hit under compression, when turned, etc.... then check it 10 times.
hahaha, that's what we all said one day. better plan ahead so you don't end up doing the same job twice.tacodab said:Hey Chuck
Not sure if I will ever run 39" tires ...maybe 37" some day.
Thanks man!!![]()

my advice.
Oz.
good call...I forgot about that part. I will see how far I can get it forward without having to cut body mounts and stuffPappaF2 said:one thing to remember is that with a linked front end you wont have to worry about the tire stuffing into the pinchweld area as the axle will travel forward under compresion. still put the steering box as far forward as you possibly can
yea.... but not an impossible featsnowchucker said:i moved my box once... major PITA. all new steering shaft, gussets, mounts, etc....
