What brand steering setup is that and if you don't mind how $$

Did it come with the drop pitman?

Oh yeah, if you draw a line through the TB mounting points looks like a parallel line with the steering linkage :thumbsup:

Serious Offroad 1 ton steering. Under the kuckle. Drop pitman arm came with my lift. To make this steering set up work you have to drill the Kuckles and drop pitman arm to 7/8s inch and put a tapered insert in them. The bilsten steering stabilizer, steering stabilizer bracket and steering set up ran me about $600.

Here is it all done.

 Angles look good. How much lift are you running?

 

 Be sure to even your ends when you align it. You should have the same amount of threads showing on either end of the drag link and tie rod.

It'll look wrong! I wouldn't worry about it as long as you know each TRE has good thread engagement. I suspect if one TRE had significantly more threads exposed it could be the weak link in the steering.

 

Where did you pick up the taper bit from? Any chance you would like to sell it??? ;)

What happens if I don't?

It won't adjust correctly if one TRE is bottomed out in the link.  Otherwise it's not a big deal assuming you have enough thread engagement.

I just drilled it to 7/8s and used a tapered insert like this.
