Suspension Lift Kit (Steering Box Issues)
Called a local suspension shop to inquire about a 4" lift with 35's or 37's.
He refuses to do them on 3rd gens because the steering boxes can't handle the lift and increased tire size, says they fail within a year or so and there is no way to reinforce them properly to prevent it.
He had one customer who switched out to a new axle with king pins to solve the issue. Also said a high steer (?) would remedy it, but nobody makes them for 3rd gens.
Said Borgeson makes a lot of reinforcement kits, but even they don't solve the issue.
Thoughts?
