Absolutely! When lifting a truck over 6" it's practically imperative to convert to a cross-over steering setup.

To achieve this setup you will need the following:
-2wd Steering Box (360 degree splines allow for proper pitman arm placement)
-Flat top passenger side steering knuckle that will need to be machined for studs to allow passenger side steering arm attachment (OR) a cross over steering knuckle from a wide variety of after market distributors.
-Dropped pitman arm
-Proper length Drag link

The Wheels and tires I am using are 17X10 KMC XD series wheels on 37X14.5X17 Toyo AT tires (I would have gone MT's but they were offering $200 per tire at Les Schwab)...

I'll be posting update photos soon... My wife is pregnant, so things have gotten a little busy around the house...
