I have a quick question regarding the x-over steering on the d44. Dont the leaf springs get in the way of the tie rod? It dosent look like there is enough room for the tie rod to go over the leaf springs if it is mounted on top of the knuckle.
Maybe someone has a pic of the setup I could see???

High steer and Crossover steering are 2 different things, well I guess technically, Highsteer is a type of Crossover.
As to whether the tie-rod goes above the leafs in front of the axle or behind with Highsteer depends on what you want to do and what your castor looks like.

well cross over steer is where you have a drag link from your steering box to a mount on top of the passenger side knuckle which is connect to the other knuckle via a tie rod. Or am I thinking of high steer? Perhaps I have my terminolgy messed up? I guess I need an explination as the difference.
I have flat top knuckles on a 74ish D44. I want to get the tie rod out of the way of rocks
