Depends on where you mount it. I used the stock forward holes and drilled 2 new rear holes. It hangs the same distance below the frame as the stock box.
Ok thanks. I was hoping it hung down a little lower. Im going to be using F150 knuckles and a TRO with a 3,5 suspension lift. With the stock knuckes and a TRO, you dont need a drop pitman arm with a 3.5 inch SL. But the F150 knuckles have lower steering arms so Im not sure if I will need one or not.
You can mount it lower if you want it lower. I run the full width F150 D44 (so same knuckles), Chevy 1Ton TRE's in TRO, stock pitman arm and 5.5" SL. No problems. If anything you want the box as high as possible and pitman arm as well to make sure the drag link wont hit the tie rod on full compression.
Ok thanks. The pics of different set ups definitly helps. One question though. I have heard time and time again how inportant it is to have the steering link from the pitman arm and the trac bar to be at the same angle, or as close as possible. But both of you guys have angles that arent parallel. Any opinion on that?
I understand that. Thats why I was asking Devin and bronco69er why theirs arent. I was thinking bronko69er needs a trac bar riser and devin needs to lose the drop pitman arm. Just curious what their thoughts were on it.
Cool. Thanks Devin. I just compared my F150 knuckles to some 76 versions I have and the F150 steering arms are 1 5/8 lower so I think I'll still be ok.
That picture is somewhat deceiving. It is closer to parallel than it looks, yet still not perfect. It is close enough for me not to notice any bump steer. I am using a small riser on the axle.
Huh. I kind of like that better than the BCB plate I have. Maybe I can use the BCB plate on the inside for strength and the WCB plate to attatch the box. Thanks for the link.
