I agree with Blazer1970..
Not trying to pawn off our kits, just giving you insight to the world of crossover steering...
I have been wheeling for about 8 years and have crossover steering on a dana 44 now 60.. I have spent hardly any money for replacement parts compared to when i had the skyjacker componants dropped pitmat and raised arm..
Cost me an arm and a leg to keep together. THEY WEAR OUT FAST with big lifts and big tires..
I'm not saying they don't work, but I would encourage you to save for a crossover setup.. you would be alot happier in the long run with articulation and bumpsteer.. Upgraded companants for the drivers side do nothing to help these problems out with big lifts and tires...
I know you have probably read the other post but here is the trhead anyway.. I tired to explain what the benifits are for crosover steering...
Again it is a person own preference what they want for there rigs..But I feel you should know, if you wheel this rig and daily drive it with (what size tires??????) big tires those parts are going to wear out fast and guess what, you replace joints that are skyjackers cost almost as much as when you first bought it
