A note about steering geometry. For rack conversions (or any steering/crossmember mods) it is important to understand the geometry relationship between the inner tie rod ends (steering pivot) and the lower control arm mount (LCA pivot) is very important. So, if you raise the crossmember (which is raising the LCA pivot) then you must raise the steering by the same amount. - Or it will have drastic bump-steer. If you 'pancake' or raise the crossmember with the stock box, you can raise the box and idler arm the same amount, or you can leave them in place and fab a custom center link with raise mounts for the inner tie rod ends. But, the relationships need to stay in place.
