Default 85 k5 wont turn left!!!
my buddy bought a k5 blazer the other day for 750 bucks, was driving it home and it wouldnt turn left!! What could this be? It has a lift on it, not sure how high but at least 2-3 inches maybe even more. Any idea how to fix this?

see if there is anything binding when you turn the wheel. maybe the pitman arm is put on off center not allowing it to go lock to lock..? i dont know much about those or how they are set up but id start with looking for the obvious.
