Fitting in a garage is over rated. Turning radius is not.

I built my jeep to fit in the garage with the 37s. But now have the 42s so it no fit no more. I have no height restrictions at my Victoria house for storing it covered by my shop now though.

Next it was on to install the new Durango steering box. This box is a bit bigger and beefier and just needs some sort of spacer to bolt right up. I also got a steering box brace and but it on also.
The same time I did this I installed the new power steering pump, lines, and bracket.

After that I went on to install the one ton steering. In order to install this I had to drill out the tie rod mounting holes in the knuckles and pit man arm. I drilled them out to 7/8s and put a tapered insert in it. The knuckles were pretty easy to do. the cast seemed fairly soft.
Old VS New
Drilling the Knuckles
The Pitman arm did not go as easily though. Snapped my two Machining bits that were $100 buck a piece then I went though about 4 Harbor freight bits before I got the job done...
And here is the finished product!

And last I put on some new calipers, Extended brake lines, Zinc plated Cross Drilled and Slotted
Rotors and some 1.5 inch spacers.
