I was linked on this and really wanted to know if there was going to be any issues by flipping the pitman arm 180 degrees as such. I think that clearance wouldnt be really any issue... well not MUCH, and the benefit of it is MUCH easier steering setup... either way I think Im gonna have to change the heck out of my steering!

I don't know what steering box he's using but if you do that to a standard steering gear the jeep's gonna turn opposite of steering wheel input.

That is right. Stock steering box will give you backwards steering. Also tie rod roll on that set up for very loose steering. You can high steer what you have and do the heim joint track bar. I did one like that on mine.

Yes. Adjusts in minutes. I have a zipper on the whole thing so I can change suspension heights in two hours or less.

I got it all at Parts Mike

www.partsmike.com

DOM Tubing with right and left hand threaded inserts welded on the end of the tube.

The Hex shaped stuff is a hex shaped aluminum drag link. It is part of the D30 high steer kit I have from Tereflex. The one in black behind it is the track bar and is DOM steel with the required threaded inserts for the spherical rod ends developed by Parts Mike. But it is black and hard to see in the photo.
