Re: Crossover steering question

The only reason reason I did it is because EVERY steering component on my truck was bad and was old it is nice in the woods. My truck is not my daily, so I'm not all that concerned about the on-road issues it might have. Another thing to look at is how much it costs in the end. The ord kit was $425, I got new tie rod ends and axle joints which ran me $175 with a garage discount, the knuckles were $80 for the pair from the junk yard, $40 for a junk yard steering box, and I still need new ball joints and need to get the knuckle machined. $425 didn't seen all that bad, but about $800 is a little much if its not needed. I didn't have that many problems with the stock setup, just when the truck was very flexed
