Cross over question? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Does anyone know if you can use the stock steering arm on the passenger side to do the crossover sterring?I havent been able to look in to this yet,but wondering if anyone has tried this.

Nope. The stock steering arm is parallel with the axle. The cross over steering arm is perpendicular to the axle. Also, if it's a ten bolt or Dana 44 the bolt pattern for the steering amr will be wrong.

Look at how your steering works now, and think about how it will have have to move with the cross over.

Here's a quick sketch of the stock and cross over...

No you need to make/buy a arm like the one I just made for mine. Also machine the "knuckle" like the 1 in this pic....

hey has anyone tried doing crossover to the stock linkage? If i reverse the stock crosslink could I run a draglink to the stock dapner hole? my truck is not lifted just a daily driver, i just don't like the fore-aft thing at all.
