[QUOTE="FrankTheTank, post: 1121681, member: 3401"] First off, I don't want to take any of Cary's business away so I still recommend ordering what you need thru him. But I can tell you it's easy to get the axle centered. I'm on 2.5" pure performance lift coils and can fit 295/65/r20s (35.5×11) with NO issues. Even on hard angles turning up a hill. My back tire lifts off the ground before it rubs. I do rub the radius arm slightly on full lock but not enough to even bother mentioning. But that's a 11" wide tire not a 12.50, I could see possiabe problems at that point on full lock up an angle flexed out but nothing a bumper trim couldn't take care of. I am running an adjustable track bar from pure performance and I highly recommend one for the swap as there is no other way to fine tune centering the axle. The track bar mount should be welded on by a professional as that is the single most important piece of the swap that CANNOT fail. If it does, you are putting you, your family, and innocent bistanders life in your hands. I recommend the one from ballistic fab. The factory one can be used from the 05+ frame but only with the SD steering box. IMHO, the factory trac bar mount doesn't place the bar at the proper angle and give you proper clearance needed. Cary's kit also includes custom brake lines. I didn't get it because I wanted to replace mine with nickle copper tubbing that doesn't rust (rust belt) so I didn't ever have to do it again. With this being done I located all my lines where they needed to be and ran all new custom lines to compensate. Cary's brake lines are bolt on, plug and play. I highly recommend the SD steering box swap due to the larger, longer, beefier, and straighter pitman arm. The straighter arm helps with steering angles to reduce the possibility of bump steer. Also the 02+ steering boxes (you will be using an 05-09.5 box) use a different power assist ratio for softer steering as far as my research shows. The SD box with the longer pitman will also increase your turning radius to actually push the wheels to full lock against the bump stops on the steering knuckles. It doesn't require much work to swap the box and can be easier then finding someone to ream your pitman to a larger joint or even removing your old pitman arm sometimes. I'm sure I forgot to cover something that you asked..... [/QUOTE]
