I noticed that Flaming River sells a 19:1 and 16:1 box. I already have the 16:1 pitman arm. Do you think the steering will be too quick if I were to replace the current OE box with a 16:1 box and use the Shelby 16:1 pitman arm?

Thanks

Your steering will be fine. That's the same setup I use and I'm pretty happy with the steering ratio.

I measured my steering shaft from the tip to the end of the steering box and it's approx. 42.5 inches. Why does Flaming River indicate their shaft is 45 inches? Will I have to drive from the back seat?
