Topic: 85 ifs box issues please help

[DRTYLUVN]

so i did the ifs box on my 85 truck
everything is mounted but now my low pressure powersteeing line (hard line) doesnt want to fit rite
if i manipulate the line and get it the fitting to sit rite and screw in, the U part of the line drops off and down the inside of the frame and hits/sits on the bolts that holds the steering box on

im wondering what we did wrong, my buddy says we should cut the line and re-fit/re-flare the line at another point to clear this problem

[OOPS]

Why not just bend it?

[DRTYLUVN [OP]]

That's what I thought too but he said it Would be better to cut and flare
I didn't get a chance to see how he was doin it cause it started rainin so I was in hurry putting things away

[lone walker]

x2 ---- bend it

[DRTYLUVN [OP]]

thanks for your input guys
ill try to bend it first before we cut and re-flare

You could cut all the line you don't need and flare it out for a clean good job.

Or do like 99% of us and bend it a bit until it fits right.

Thanks for the reply 85runner_

it was a hose from a different setup that they put on
i found the one that i needed already
