Crossover Steering On Closed Knuckle
 

So, has anyone done a crossover steering mod to a closed knuckle (D44)? It doesn't look hard to do, just make a new top plate for the pass. side knuckle, and the crossover steering link...

Why? If you need crossover, it means you are lifting the truck, which means bigger tires. I don't know about you, but when I dd'ed my '69, I thought the front drums were ok for driving around. But loaded, or offroading, it was another story. When they got wet...:eek:.
Especially with bigger tires...I wouldnt trust the drums. Just my 2 cents

1969 GMC - Awesome signature :metal: Anyhow, you are correct this is a DD, but I like to play with it also, which is why I'll slowly be putting together another truck. I was just thinking that it would allow for some more suspension articulation w/o trashing the steering box and its mount to the frame. Also, I'd like 2" (maybe 4") lift, no more than req'd to fit 35X12.5's w/o worrying about rubbing a tire. It was just one of those things I was looking into doing for S&G's. You're right about drums not stopping well when wet!!!

2-4" of lift might not give you enough room for crossover.
