First one,
SB DD Ductile iron, I don't plan on really ever pulling with my truck being lifted doesn't really make it a legal pull around here. It will just be a hot rod so to speak. Any real issues anyone ever had with it? Or the Southbend guy on here could inform me of any issues.

Second question,
My truck has a 5.5 fabtech lift. I duno if something got bent just a lil or what. I know my passenger side sway bar end link is real close to my tie rod and my dual stabilizer being on there almost makes it not passable. It works but, its real tight. Almost seems like the pitman should have a bigger drop to it but it is the one that came with the system. Think I will end up replaceing all the steering components anyhow just for safe measure and wear. Did all the balljoints already and the one tie rod coming off the pitman arm.

 

bump....................

 

The Ductile SB DD is perfect for the Hot Rodder, it just isn't SFI certified so you can't use it for sled pulling competition drag racing. It works great for the guy that occasionally runs up the strip though

 

Thanks for the info. Pretty much what it will be and run it occsasionaly lol. 3rd gear seems to be the worst to shift into. as to be in the exact right spot or ya get that grind sound hehe. After the clutch I can finally start adding some real power.
