Default Custom steering stops for 1965 Chevelle

Wondering if you guys have some suggestions on how to achieve this? I'm runing wider than normal positive offset wheels on the front and need to limit the steering angle. My first thought would be to use a threaded sleeve + a bolt into the frame near pitman and idler arms.

internal stops would seem to be the best. not sure what box youre running, but you could try it yourself or ship it to tom lee.

You could fab something up on the lower a arms to work with the steering arms

That's what I'd look into. Just ad thickness to the factory stops.

I'm running a Lee box, but my wheels are stuffed in the fenders and I'll be going with wide positive offset wheels. I don't think the internal stops are enough. Since I just installed the box today, need to see how much angular displacement the quick ratio box has. Overall the steering is a big improvement with the box and a Sparco wheel. Trying to fit 10.5" wide in the front. Good idea on adding a component to the lower a-arm.

When I did my measurements for my wheels they turned a bit more with the engine on and the power steering hooked up than they did with the setup off.
