rack & pinnion steering
I did a little searching but didn't see anything... Brothers offers a power R/P steering kit and was wondering if anyone has installed it yet?

Re: rack & pinnion steering
No Limits Engineering carries them and it looks like the one Brothers has is slightly more expensive. No Limit's has a truck build on here that they used to prototype and test the rack, lots of info about it in their build. The kit seems a little pricey to me for what you get but from the sounds of it, it makes a big difference... I would love to be able to get one some day... Here is their build http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=436621

Re: rack & pinnion steering
Just my opinion,... for the money,... I would buy the new Pro Touring Dropmember from Porterbuilt Fabrication.
Many additional suspension gains, increased ground clearance, and it comes ready to bolt on a 79-93 mustang rack. They are designed to use coil over shocks or air bags.

Re: rack & pinnion steering
That was my first choice, and the best option... but that's some serious $$$$ when you add up everything it takes. And I'm happy with my suspension set up now (though obviously not as trick as Porterbuilt).
I just don't like the steering box (been through 3). |

Re: rack & pinnion steering
Here is the thread about R&P where Robs kit is intro'd. The assy pics start on page 5, and the price is listed on 7.

Re: rack & pinnion steering
Looks exactly like NoLimit's kit, but $100 cheaper. The mild and touring DMs are sweet, too. Just know, both setups will require tubular control arms, so factor that into the price as well.

Re: rack & pinnion steering
some of the kits will only work with tubular lower arms too, so look out for that.
