Re: Straight axle steering

hm, i didn't know the Toyota gear goes where the orignal gear goes! I'll be using stock manifolds. How do I go about learning about this install? are you doing it now?

I have looked at both the R&P setup and the other types (saginaw, toyota) of power steering setups. All of them have there +'s and -'s.
The saginaw unit, which mounts on the outside of the frame, MAY limit your turning radius and you have to cut your inner fender to clear the steering shaft.
The Toyota setup, mounts in the same location as the original gear box. This setup MAY limit your exhaust manifold options.
The R & P setup, not enough people have used this setup and given +'s and -'s for me to take the leap and install it in my truck. From what I can see from the picture you posted I see some of the same issues that the other setups have.

All are very close in cost (for new kits). I myself have decided to go with the toyota setup, mostly because it works the best for me.
