So far I have found that a couple lift makers supply a pair of Grade 8 bolts for this function. Which is likely the way I'm going. Not the best or safest, as a single course threaded bolt can't be torqued like a stud with fine threads at the nut.
the 3" long I listed above is all any fastener...
Ran into a snag here on the M882 plow truck
replacing the front springs with a set of 1 ton springs.
6 leafs now, at the differential there is one U bolt and a pair of studs on the other side.
These 9/16 double threaded studs are only 3" long, which is not long enough.
need at least 3-1/2" long...
Well shucks, the Dodge isn't adjustable like the Chevy.
Anyway, two pics 1st one is stock 1978, turned full left, the connecting rod is 18 inches long.
2nd pic is of a PS box from a 76 Ramcharger on my 77 M884, just used the box & pitman arm.
sounds like it wasn't centered when the link between box & axle was attached.
put it on jack stands, unhook steering arm from pitman arm,
verify wheels turn fully & return then to center
pitman arm needs to be perpendicular to the frame (pointing straight out)

Ramcharger, 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton 1 ton 4x4 all the same parts.
To use parts from other years will require many more parts.
I know of no real list. Searching this forum will provide all the...
What is the idle speed in park once fully warmed up, choke fully off? in park?
Can we assume it stays running @ idle in gear when cold and the fast idle is active?
the 89 454 would be throttle body injection, which uses the an in tank pump with a return system.
swapping to a carburetor would solve that, I don't know if the 89 would have the place or cam lobe for a mechanical fuel pump, so an inline electric there.
The TH400 i the CUCV has a very low stall...
As the full time NP203 has a differential in it, power is transferred to the axle with the least resistance.
This allowed my son to repeatedly do as you have said during his senior year in my stock M880 with 285R75 tires on it.
the final drive ratio of all 727 transmissions is 1:1
Exterior grate & intake baffle
Couldn't come up with a spare exhaust, here is a picture of the exhaust pipe for reference (part of complete heater setup)
