M35a2 Waterloo Powersteering question pitmen arm

[Hummer Guy]

Alright, so I'm almost finished with this power steering kit, but ran into one problem. My tire is rubbing against the pitmen arm on just a small right turn does anyone know the solution to this or is this kit even usable with the NDT tires? Yes, I have super single tires and MRAP rims but didn't want to get to that yet, neither do I want to instantly get to that for those to rub as well.

Powersteering and 395/85R20s rub issue

Has anyone used the Waterloo power steering system with the saginaw 710 steering box. If so have they also upgraded to super singles. I have had the powersteering for a long time and it works great. However, having just swapped to 395/85R20's with the MRAP adapter plates I now get tire rub...

M35A2 power steering options?

Before I get jumped on, yes I've googled and searched on here.waterloo and now Boyce Equipment offer power steering options for the M35. Both are 99% the same. Boyce offers a different pump. Boyce also states that it won't work with stock M35A2 or M35A3 wheels? Waterloo doesn't state this on...

I run 11.00R20 and in a right turn with a lot of pressure on the tire (i.e. offroad) I "can" get it to rub on the castle nut. Not in normal driving. Double-check your arm orientation and angles; I think the rims for an M135 give 2 inches more offset (to the outside) and that might be a cheap solution to keep the NDTs for now.

You did not say when the tire rubs; if it is at the very end of turning the wheel all the way, just adjust the stop on the steering knuckle and you are done. Might not even need much. Also, you can smoothen the castle nut some.

Good luck!

It's at the very beginning (2nd picture), after taking the wheel off, I believe it's because I didn't align the pitmen arm correctly

Edit: the pitmen arm was on the wrong side
