im about to go to crossover/high steer...with 7 inches of lift will a regular arm work for crossover???ive heard you have to have a spacer,then i have heard you dont want on cause they are dangerous...i have heard you neeed a bent draglink and then i heard they wear out ends fast...so what do i need when i order???im about to buy a set of sky arms and knukles from 55willy so what elce do i need to buy for crossover on 7 inches of lift???
 
I ran the ORD crossover with sagged 4" lift. Bent DL and the angles at the DLE's was great. I now have 6" alcan's and although there is slightly more angle at the DLE's it's still well within operating range.

I didn't need a spacer under the arm, and the Alcan's are an 11 leaf pack up front.

so all you have is a ord bent draglink???
 
The reason for the bent draglink is to reduce the operating angle of the draglink ends. With 7" of lift you should be okay with only running a bent draglink. Any of the supporting vendors here should be able to help you out with how you have to measure for the draglink etc.
