Those are some huge welds!
Take your drag link off the pitman. Put the tires in the air. Now, change the angle of your drag link in realation to the angle of the tie rod, while pushing on it to turn the tires.You will notice its quite a bit easier to turn it the greater the angle between the 2. This translates to less stress on your entire steering system, ESPECIALLY if you move the steering box all the way to the end of the frame, where it meets the front hanger. This will be the absolute strongest combination you can get for your steering.
not gonna work if you got a front hanger on leafs.
wouldn't your steering be backwards if you ran a forward facing pitman arms anyway? like you would turn left and it would go right.
I don't know why you get more turning but you do. I've personally compared a drop pitman are to a straight pitman arm and gotten more steering.Also I doubt you had to cut that much, my axle is 4" forward from stock and I could easily go another 2" forward with no drag link tie rod interference.
