I bent my stock steering again im buying the 3/4 steering from ruff stuff my question is can anybody give me advice in how to measure the lower drag link length cutting it down to size ive seen one friend do his and messed up cutting it to short

I would just measure the distance from knuckle mounting point to the pitman arm with the old steering on it. I try to have maybe 4 threads showing at each rod end when building it. the less shank showing the stronger they are, and 8 threads is usually enough to compensate for bent components if you ever need to adjust it.

for the tie rod do the same.
