Hi all-
Here's an update on my progress:
First, I got my trusses all situated and ready to weld
Second, I finally did the 3.4 oil pan swap from a front sump to a rear sump- I have to say that it makes a huge difference since now I can actually fit both of my high-steer bars.
If you have or are planning on using the WFO Concepts frame stiffeners (found here
https://www.wfoconcepts.com/pr/Toyota-4wd-Pickup-1979-85-Frame-Plates/3780/19595) then you will have your steering box mounted vertically and with no angle. This is great for not cutting out any unnecessary area from the front clip, but it makes it so that you need to use a flat pitman arm. Otherwise when you tuck your driver's side wheel into the wheel-well, the steering bar that comes off of the pitman arm will hit the leaf spring before it flattens out. As you can see, there is not much room for upward travel here.
So I am in the process of getting a flat pitman arm, getting my steering stabilizer mounted, and figuring out how I want to run rear shocks (I am thinking through the bed on a shock bar).
Cheers, Noah
