I like it alot. I had purchased everything to do high steer on my truck but it won't work with my axle moved foward. If I was you I would definetly get crossover. My draglink is straight and does not rub anything. My truck has a really tight feel and a tight turning radius. Folks cannot believe how sharp it can turn. I have driven the truck before at 70 mph with one hand on the wheel. I know alot of my benefit is the newer frame too. I'm sure the bushings in your truck would help out. Plus it feels awesome to be whipping that big steering wheel around. It makes me feel like Cledus Snow.


Yeah I remember seeing that video you posted! Your truck has got the power! I think those bigger injectors really put it to it. Did you ever bump the timing and fuel up? Or get the 3200 rpm spring?
