I'm in the process of doing a 52 swap with zero rate and crossover, are you guys running regular steering arms or the "tall" ones. Are there any problems with either? Sky Manufacturing has there regular arms for $75 instead of $100 for the tall ones. Didnt want to spend the extra $$ if i dont need it. thanks. D44 by the way
 
If you are running zero rates you should get the tall arm to keep the drag link off the springs. Tall arm is much better than a short arm with a spacer.

Top two pics are the clearance issues i had with the short arm and zero rates.

Bottom two pics are the tall arm and zero rates. You can see even with the tall arm at max compression there is a little interference. These were Superlift 4" springs with 6 or 7 leaves. The average 52" pack is a little shorter than the average lift spring.

Just for reference.:wink1:

Thanks for the input, I guess Ill go with the tall arms to be on the safe side.
