this truck with its new 2.5 inch lift kit did make the steering geometry pretty bad. even factory the steering geometry was not very good. after the lift, i corrected the alignment but it still could feel a major difference in the steering for the worse.
even with only a 2.5 inch leveling kit, this is almost the equivalent of a 6 inch left on an f150/bronco. the more parallel the tie rods are to the beams the better. the tie rod flip would raise them up about 3 inches. the pitman arm drops them about 3 inches
i defiantly planned on doing a drop pitman arm. but i considered doing a tie rod flip also. the reason i did not do a tie rod flip first was due to the risk that the leaf springs might hit the tie rods during articulation. after the drop pitman arm, there is no chance of them hitting.
