Dude, you gave it 12 hours.  On the more unique ones you usually have to wait a day or two for the right person to log in.

When setting the power steering unit in place can you not see if the unit is rubbing up against something?  Or is it to dark where you are doing the installation to be able to check for clearances?

Have you tried just calling Petroworks?

Finally got it in this morning I was getting a little impatient last night I had started on it pretty late and it got dark on me. I am the person that when I start something I think I have to get it done then.It was the shrockworks bumper I had to get the torch out this morning  and notch out a little.Worked perfect after that everything bolted right up works great.Let me ask you something Do I need to hook up the factory steering stabilizer back to the pitman arm.I have a aftermarket stabilizer on the crossover steering from TT

I had the problem with my Shrockworks bumper... but the other way around.
I had the power steering then went to put on my new bumper and had to knotch it.

One stabilizer should be more then enough.  When the Sammy in our club went to the Sidekick power steering he didn't even bother running a stabilizer.

I took a look at that wedge online and built my own.  was easy.  used mercades steering arms  did some work on my draglink (shortened it) and put high steer in like that.
after I did that I took a look at the steering.  I have long shackles in front with the spring over.  wow what a bunch of play. when I turned the wheel. everything rocked from the lift.  if u  find that in yours with the power steering put in a panhard bar.
what a differance that made on the whole set up.  thing turns on a dime now and not a bit of bump steer
