Nice looking rig, had hoped to see it in Lincoln last May.

With new king pins and bushings installed and everything lubed, and it still turns hard, shorten the pitman arm. This will give you more mechanical advantage. A good welder can do this safely, cut on an angle to give more weld-length, thus stronger than butt weld. Also the drag link should be as near horizontal as possible so you are not trying to lift the car as you turn.
