Very good point! Seems like anything over 4" needs a LOT more mods ($$) to make it work. With my 6" I used the raised steering arm AND the dropped pitman arm. When wheeling, I can't turn left if the left wheel is dropped down. With a 6" lift I would HIGHLY recomend crossover steering. If I had known at the time, I would have saved up and done the crossover then.
