Steering Adjustment needed post-lift??

[jmorrisjr]

So i finally got my 1.75" front spring spacers installed over the weekend to compensate for the weight of the winch, and now i've got a thunk from the steering when i turn the wheel all the way to the right in a parking area.

I climbed under it and it looks like the steering linkage next to the p-side f-tire is riding up on a bolt on the axle assembly.

So my question is, Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, can you point me in the right direction to correct the 'thunking'.

thanks!

After a BB, you should only have to adjust your toe-in and re-center the steering wheel. Do you have 1.75" spacers on top of the original spacers?

Can you take a picture of which parts are hitting?

I'll take some pics of it tonight and put them up tomorrow. I did install the 1.75 on top of the factory spacers as the factory held them in place nicely.

Thanks for the help!

so I get home last night, and i measured the front and back tire widths to see how far the toe was out. there was an inch difference between the front and the back.

so needless to say, i dropped it off at the shop today for an alignment. took it to a 4x4 shop rather than the regular tire shop so they can do a proper check on the total alignment.

perhaps that will fit the 'thunking' since it was pretty out of alignment.

I did take the pics, this is the bolt that the steering linkage seems to be riding up on to make the noise, but again, the correct aligmment might make the difference.

I'll let you know how it turns out. thanks again for the help!

PS: I couldn't seem to get the pic to upload. post kept telling me it was too big.
