lmfao. Paceshitters is a perfect name for them...imo.

If I'm not mistaken you're 2wd....LPP's should be perfect.

Well got my LLPs on today and I have a TON of clearance everywhere, lots of room between the primaries and the front drive shaft and yoke, lots of room between the headers and frame rails everything good, except my steering shaft just barely rubs the header, could have to do with my body lift. Should I take a hammer and give it a little dent to clear or just leave it?

If it rubs even a little I would make some clearance. You probably don't want the direct heat transfer to your steering shaft and it will drive you nuts when it start rattling and jingling on it.

When my old shorties rubbed against my steering shaft, I loosened and repositioned the steering gear box (there's clearance in the bolt holes where it bolts to the frame), and that gave me just enough room to clear the shaft. If you do that, you'll need an alignment though as the angle of the pitman arm will change slightly.

It's simple...loosen the 3 bolts that secure the gear box to the frame and shift it as necessary. With mine, I just loosened the bolts and the gear box shifted on it's own and that's all that I needed. Just remember that you'll need a wheel alignment afterwards as the front toe setting is affected.
