My steering link goes uphill from the steering box because the shocks are in the way, Is there any way I could put it on the lower part of the axle? Also on a left turn the tire hits the steering link. I posted this cause alot of you have great ideas and that's what I need.

Does the steering box have to be that low? That angle is severe I would say.
Left turn steering link interference, can the steering box be moved inboard? Last resort, steering stop.
Can you move the shocks inboard more?
 
Going "uphill" shouldn't be a problem. Mine did too and never had any problem with it. As long as the draglink intersects or is close to the rear mounting point of the radius rod you shouldn't have any bump steer problems either.
 
I can't move the box, no room with the big block. So uphill shouldn't be a problem? As far as the tire hitting the steering link, what about a bend in it like a z to have the clearance? Any danger?
