And I understand that. Not knowing what you have to start with would make me question it as well.

Truck is looking real good btw. Those iroks and H2's look great!

So far I have nothing. I contacted ORD and after measuring the crossover arm thats on there they say it will limit my steering and put my rod ends at a funky angle. so if i do crossover its basically from scratch.
or i can do a block and stock arm and use what i have. cruddy thing is i just put the 4wd steering box on 2 weeks before bb17 so its brand new.

I'll send you my stock arm for 40 bucks shipped

I really might take you up on it. I'll put together my parts list tonight and weigh out the differences and see what way i want to go.

I'd even go 30, I always forget that the D60 arm is smaller than the 10/44 arm, should fit fit in a smaller flat rate...

ooo thats a good deal.

I cant figure out why the guy that owned the axles before me cut half of the arm off.... unless it was hitting something why touch it.

if i do the stock arm do any of you know if the ORD 2.25" block will be enough to correct my 3.5" lift? note the axle was also moved 1.5" forward

Just do crossover now, why do it twice. Know you want to........

Talking with the guys from ORD it sounds like it will hit the front crossmember unless I put on a little more lift.

Or remove/rebuild said crossmember

 

[kgblazerfive]

They sell new ones for that.....

Lol sooo much more work than I want to dig into this winter

The factory push/pull steering is going to piss you off. I tell the truth.

 

[the_blaze]

I'm running the factory push pull on my other rig, it has a 7" lift with a d60 front end it has been like that for 10 years.

I agree eventually i need and will want crossover on both of them but factory push pull will work well enough to get the new axles under it within the next month or so.
