I have a Dodge Dana 60 front end. I believe it is the king-pin style. I am curious as to how hard it would be to set it up with some sort of hysteer. Its just sitting here now, but I am considering throwing it under my Toy and if I do so, I want the tie rod above the springs. Does anyone make a kit for it? Any info on what would need to be done would be appreciated.
Thanks.

the king pin 60 are the easiest of all to do spring over steering on. There are several companies that make the arms ness. dynatrac,ott,roggy enterprises,4 off road ,etc. just when they are building your arms have them taper the tie rod for what ever tie rod you have. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Try PARTSMIKE. I'm currently putting crossover steering on my dodge d60 and ordered the steering arm from him. It is an arm that places the draglink above the springpack. I believe he is in AUBURN,CA., and he has a webpage called PARTSMIKE. <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">

Ooops! I was addressing the draglink, but not the "tierod". I have'nt looked into raising that yet. Good luck! <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

These are exactly what you need. The web site is slow and the parts are pricy. Also, I think they require the use of heim joints (no tapered holes).

I got mine from Roggy Ent. (530)-626-9451.
They are WAY beefy & he can drill them for
tie rod & drag link w/heims or taper them
for your tie rods. Make sure you tell him
to test fit each one to make sure they fit
snugly over the kingpin caps. I had to
rebore mine out a little. I have seen some
arms that incorporate the caps within the
arms, like the ones on extreme4x4.com. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

the new avalanche arms are 95 a piece tapered for the big chevy TRE's and they are angled out so you can flex more without binding. He can also ream out the old arms (65 dollar ones) for the TRE's
i'm using the new arms with my 44
