Cheap crossover for a 10b
- Thread starter 84CUCV

Do your own, I did. Only thing that I had to buy was the crossover arm itself. Find a mid 80s 4wd with a 3 peice tierod, they have the same threads as a draglink. Find a 78-79 Ford 1/2 ton and take the pitman arm. Don't forget flattop knuckles.

OK thx
A guy I used to work with made his own steering arm from 1" plate and paid a local machine shop to ream the hole for the TRE. He swapped on a 2wd box with a Jeep dropped pitman arm and used the stock drag link from a Jeep Cherokee. Not as beefy as some of the aftermarket stuff, but it was cheap.

sorry,
im as cheap as the next guy, but steering?
I put off cross over for as long as possable, and looked into doing my own, but factor in the time, and bs and then the possable failure.. not to mention running around town for the pitman arm, the tube, the tre's, the time to put it together bla bla bla
if it sees the street or any abuse just save some headaches and wait till you can afford it
I have purchased 2 cross over kits from trevor at WFO, and the time and effort he takes is awwwwwesome. 1 d60 kit and then a d44 kit. 1st kit he shipped the same day I ordered, second time he shipped it before my M.O. was even in his hand. Installing a nice set up and it going smooth is nice piece of mind.
I cant say enough about his customer service

Sky is very reasonably priced for steering parts, and great quality as well. Like supersize said. This has been hashed out here in the past. It's your steering do it right $

After 120 highway miles on my K5 this weekend I really want to put crossover on.... but have no desire to spend the money... but then again, I though about how much more it would cost if I ended up in a ditch or off the side of a hill cause of steering failure due to cutting the corners... I am in the boat with you, spend it now, forget about it later

What i dont get is a 60 crossover is cheaper then a 10b or at least that is how its working out for me.
