Crossover steering w/ leaf springs?
OK, so, I think a Grand Cherokee beam axle is the axle for me.
Since I already have leaf springs on the truck, and I don't want the time & expense of a coil spring setup, I'll keep leaf springs. No panhard rod - don't want the time / expense / effort & it just doesn't seem necessary as long as I have leaf springs. Now, all the above being said, it seems to me that I can run a power steering box placed so the pitman arm is in line with the steering arm on the axle and call it a day. Obviously a shallower drag link angle is better but aside from a drop pitman arm or mounting the box lower, not much to be done there. Anything else I should look out for, setting up a drag link perpendicular to the frame w/ no panhard rod? Want to make the steering as tight / predictable as I can in the format described. Might add a track bar some day but unsure - depends on if I feel the need for more stability. |
