d44 or d60?
attach it to the axle at the steering stablizer tab and weld on a tab to the tie-rod. thats what i did and it worked well
Yep, attach it from the axle tube to the tie rod. You will have to cut off the steering stabilizer bracket. If you plan on using the stock tie rod, I wouldn't plan on it holding up for long.

I really don't like the idea of mounting the ram to the u-bolt plate. Puts more stress on the u-bolts and center pin.
High steer does rule though

I wouldn't do it with stock U-bolts, but upgraded stronger bolts should be able to withstand it?38377k5 said:I really don't like the idea of mounting the ram to the u-bolt plate. Puts more stress on the u-bolts and center pin.

That looks more for the high crossover steering, its a really good set up, do you think its really worth the extra money to go witht the high cross over, i can see with being in rocks it would help my my truck will be mostly trail and mud. Thanks for all the help

The single shear connection on the axle side isn't going to work for very long.

i ran that setup for over a year w/o any issues. i was planning to do a double shear connection eventually, but the axles/steering are sold, so the next guy can take care of that.
