Since you don't want to use the ATS/SpeedTech AFX , I would recommend the RideTech spindle, Tru Turn and a Speed Tech 670 Delphi Lee box set up over the rack system. Its a great set up and to me feels better than any rack kit available now.

You shouldn't need a drop spindle at all. just run the stock one you will be able to get the ride height where you want it.

Where do i find the Delphi lee box set up at . I looked at speed techs website and didn't see anything

[Vince@Meanstreets]

I just looked at the site and there is just a picture of it.

Blake, are you still selling Lee's 670's?

Never mind i finally found it ! Is it about the same size as the stick unit ? And have you guys has any header clearence issues when using it ?

[Blake Foster]

There is a HUGE supply problem from Delphi right now that is why we took it down, Lee is struggling to get NEW box Cores, they do not use old stuff and the supplier is not delivering so rather than have to make excuses we just took it off the site, wish it wasn't that way but these are old out of date parts and I suppose we are lucky they have been making them this long

Thanks,

They are great boxes.

They are a bit smaller, about 6lbs lighter and fit all the headers we have used.

Are these the same boxes that speed tech also sells ? And i will be using hooker super comp headers ..... You think i will have clearance issues

The ones that were available from ATS/SpeedTech were tuned by Lee steering. These are out of the box Delphi units. They work good.

Just a note......If you are using Hooker Super Comp headers, they will not work with the True Turn system.....Dynatech headers fit the True Turn System.

ok now I'm lost you said at the beginning you were using a Rack but then we got onto steering boxes?

I turned him around and told him it wasn't necessary and recommended a 600 Delphi.

Thanks Mike, I can't believe I forgot about that little item.
