I relize they use totally different arms. I tried doing a search on google and ck5 and couldn't find the lenght of the links. Figure the pitman arm doesn't change, but the angle may; not sure. If the links are different lengths can't they be cut and re-tapped or use longer or shorter rod ends? I'm Sure it can be figured out.

Trying to do what i can on a very tight budget and have to think everything through. I know i wouldn't have any problem selling the high steer for the 44 once i have cash for a d60. But not sure if i should just wait and buy a D60 and mod that instead.

Problem is steering is stock and all the boots and grease seals are totally destroyed. Have 4" with 35's now. Going to 8" with 40's. What will need to be changed in my steering to make it correct?:bow:
 
I re-used my tie rod and my draglink from my 10b. I think what could make it easier is when you buy them ask if they can tap them a little deeper than usual if possible. I did have to trim a little of each end of both and trim a little off the TRE's as all the 60 stuff is a little narrower.
