Crossover, homebrewed?

[Confedneck]

So the guy that owned my suburban before the guy I got it from, called me and told me he has a 2wd box with a drop arm, and that if I get a tie rod from a heep of some sort, i could have crossover... be this the truth?

you can use an xj pitman. but its only 5.5 in long best to buy superlift 1104 arm avail from most 4x sites

that doesn't solve the issue of connecting the steering box to the tie rod

You could ... after swapping knuckles and steering arms and tierod and going to the sideways draglink (instead of long-ways) ... the latter then wants to cuddle with the motor crossmember, unless you get a bent draglink, which is annoyingly hard to adjust.

Anyway, sure, the 2WD box is one piece of the crossover puzzle, but there's lots more. You could do the Y-link thing, likely simpler -- lotsa options.
