I'm doing the swap to high steer on my 85 and I need a few pics of where to mount the box. Any pics would be appreciated.

Greengo how did you avoid hitting the rad on back side of the bolt in the front? I don't see a body lift. Did you raise the rad?

I mounted the IFS box as far forward as I could go without hacking the radiator support. I have my axle ~2-2.5" forward of stock and there is plenty of room between the draglink and tierod. I redrilled the perches/plates to move the axle forward 1" since this picture was taken.....

I had to unbolt the rad, and pry it out of the way, to put the bolt in backwards, so that the nut was facing out. i also ground down the weld in sleave to be flush with the back plate on the back of the frame. then i just remounted the rad, pushed it as far as could to the pass side and tightened it down. the bolt head touches the lower tank mounting bracket just a little, but nothing that would cause any concern.
