Re: I can turn Left!!!

Very nice, all i need is a draglink and pass side arm spacer and long studs and I'll be crossed over also.

Looks nice /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

10 bolt front axle with D44 knuckles for crossover steering. I am also running D44 caliper brackets and D44 hubs.

Re: I can turn Left!!!

so you jsut grabbed a crossover seering plate and a cross over arm and you were done?
 
Re: I can turn Left!!!

Nope, I wish it was that easy. There is a tech article about crossover in the technical area of this site. You need:

crossover steering arm
flattop knuckles w/passengers side drilled and taped for steering arm
draglink with tie rod ends
2wd sector shaft
Superlift #1104 steering arm
weld on frame reinforcement kit for the steering box

You're going to be so amazed the first time you use it on the trail. I should slap myself for not doing this mod four years ago.

I can't see the pics... How does crossover steering work?

Re: I can turn Left!!!

Works great sofar. I have only had it on the street though. I have a noticeably better turning response then I did with the raised steering arm w/ stock steering.

Hopefully next weekend I will get to test it out on some trails.

***Update***

I got to wheel today with the crossover installed. Crossover is the SH!T. Being able to steer when you are like this

is awesome. Prior I would have had no shot in hell at steering left flexed out like this. Now it is easy. Crossover makes a WORLD of difference on the trail. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

You and Matt were workin' it yesterday /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif Good mods there /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
 
I love my new crossover too. I was amazed how much easier the D60 and 35's turned compared to the 10 bolt, stock steering setup and 31's. Don't even have hydro assist steering hooked up yet
 
I love my crossover all except that it rubs my springs and crossmember pretty hard and that I need hydroassist cause i have a hard time turning on pavement when im stopped, much less turn off road with 15 PSI of air in the tires with the front locked in
 
I just wish I could get my power steering to stop hating me and then I'd be all set.

Something about big tires, a locker, and a V belt just don't agree with each other.
