[QUOTE="84Toyota4x4, post: 915433, member: 16626"] Ok, so tonight I pulled my stock SA steering box off my truck to mock up the IFS box and try and figure out what the hell I'm trying to do. Reading through Marlins install, he says: [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] So, I couldn't find my C clamps, so I just used one of the bolt holes for the stock box mount to hold the box to the frame since I'm just trying to figure out the angle they're talking about. When they say the shaft going up to the steering wheel is nearly straight, I assume they mean so the joint at the box is straight? Meaning they want the sector shaft of the box slanted forward? Here is how I have the box sitting now. I assume the sector shaft needs to be less vertical? By keeping it vertical like this, I can move it forward another 1.5" or so, but if I slant it forward to straighten out the steering shaft to the wheel, I cant push it much more forward at all until I cut out the core support, which I'm not in the position to do right now unfortunately... Advice? ~T.J. EDIT: I guess I'm saying that I know I should mount it so the lower two bolt holes are more or less level (like in the chopped pic with the yellow lines, bolt holes aligned with center of frame). What I'm asking, is if I HAVE to mount it like that, or can I leave it the way it is sitting now so I can cram it forward without having to cut the core support? Is there a horrible reason why I shouldn't? [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
