[QUOTE="DobermanRacing, post: 750991, member: 15299"] I went with a 2.5x10" (shortened to 9") PSC ram, TrailGear orbital, PSC 4.75" column with splined end to connect to factory steering shaft. I also swapped in an 01-04 WJ power steering pump using a PSC -8 flow control valve. I'm running -6 lines to the ram, -8 from the pump to the valve, and -8 on the return/cooler. The ram clevis is from Barnes4wd. Again using FK JMX heims. Oh I also decided to switch over from Jeepspeed to Ultra4 4500 because I found out there are U4 races in PA which is a whole hell of a lot closer to NJ than NV or CA. Though with the full hydro it bumps us out of 4500 and into 4400 or 4800.

So I just went with a set of spacers/adapters to convert the 9". I was running regular 2" spacers before to match the width of the D60 upfront.

[IMG width="50%"]https://i.imgur.com/rxm3gS2.jpg[/IMG] Then I bought an 02 Yukon Denali with a 6.0L LQ4 (Iron block, alum heads).

[IMG width="50%"]https://i.imgur.com/DbWrfFg.jpg[/IMG] I also got a good deal on these 14" 2.5 King piggy back coilovers.
