    No, it doesn't have to hit the stops. Yes, in factory cars they can engineer it that way, but when we start using one brand box with lots of other mismatched parts we end up with things that don't quite operate that way. On my '27 the steering box still had more turns to make even though the wheels were cranked as far as they could go without hitting the radius rods.

    I think that steering arm is way too long, both cosmetically and functionally. None of the ones that are commercially available are nearly that long. I would go to a regular length arm. The 4 inch rise also concerns me, but I understand what you are trying to accomplish with the level draglink and all.
