Lifted and Limited Steer...
Okay first things first. I'm new to the forums here! I've been looking frequently here for quite sometime now, and finally decided to become a member! I bought my Ford about a year ago and finally decided to give myself a sweet Christmas present and lift my truck!! Installed a 6 inch Rough Country lift in the truck and noticed a problem. Has anyone thats installed this lift noticed limited steering from after you added the lift? I never really looked at the steering when it was stock to see if the tie rods hit the struts but i'm noticing now that they are hitting. It's really noticeable in the steering to, i can't crank it near as much as i could when it was a stock suspension. Just looking for a little advice on this, anything would be greatly appreciated.

It's not that i'm not happy with the lift because i am. Truck rides just like stock, as far as i can tell they make a great kit. Just was a little concerned with the steering issue. Possibly the reason for it doing that would be because the rack and pinion isn't dropped down far enough? No idea but it's a good lift i think!
