ORU crossover requires crazy lift?

[dremu]

So I'm looking at the ORU crossover

for the halibut, and cuz there's a local guy wanting to sell his setup. But their web page says I need 6-8" of lift (as opposed to the next one up, for 10-12"! )

Is the geometry of these such that I don't want to mess with it with a measly 4" (and gratuitous fender ) or are these guys just nuts?

I also note that their draglink is straight, which ORD says is bad ... p'raps this is why these guys want so much lift?

in order to run a straight drag link you have to get a new engine crossmember (or lift it the 8in or more), or you can get the drag link from ORD w/the bend in it and dont have to worry about hitting the x-member.


i'm sure there are a few companies that sell the x-member if you want to go w/the straight drag link....here is a link to one that i know off...X-member link

Bingo. The ORD kit is looking better and better. I just figgered since this local one showed up I'd look into it.

Thanks!

I have the MOO crossmember and I really like it. I have a straight draglink.

Just wanted to give a different opinion.

Why do they have the nut "up" and nut "down" for the diff kits? What does that accomplish?

Depends on how your driver's knuckle is set up, I think; they have one to match.
