you can get the BAER one from jegs/summit for about $175 bucks or the one from spohn for $165. Highly reccommended when using a manual steering rack.

More details please.
Why would you need it on a stock rack?

Ive never checked bumpsterr with a stock rack/setup, but I would think GM set it up right?

Well i installed my rack doctor manual rack and went to the track Friday night. It worked good for me, not to hard to steer for a manual rack and handled well going down the track.

I'll try and get pictures this week, I didn't drive it on the Street but I drove it around the pits and it seemed to do great. Sitting still you have to use some muscle, but once your barely rolling it's a piece of cake.

89IrocZ, I see you didn't put a pulley on top of the alternator, does your water pump spin ok like that?

MT Sportmans on Welds. Used a 5/15" spacer to get them to clear the caliper. Rears are MT ET streets at Weld XP's

No problem! Taking pics on my phone and automatically uploading them to photobucket is really handy lol

Seems to spin fine. Other people have had the same setup without issues. If i ever do run into a problem i'll invest in an electric water pump

Kinda off topic but, did you have to modify your alt bracket in any way for the bottom bolt? My lower bolt is very close to the belt.. Only thing I can think to do would be to grind down the bracket some. Thanks.

I cut a little over half the head off the bolt with a saw it cleared the belt and I can still get a socket on it to tighten it up or take it out in the future.
