Re: Rack & Pinion on Stock Crossmember?

This has been one of those "there has to be a cheap and easy way to do it" topics for quite a while.

In short, there isn't a cheap or easy way to slap a rack on the factory crossmember and have an engineered result. You can slap it on and get the truck to go down the road, but if it isn't located in the proper spot it won't be a fun driving experience. Proper location requires a solid understanding/knowledge of suspension and steering geometry, and is best verified with a suspension analyzer software to ensure desired results.

DV8 has done a good job of putting it together on his truck, but I am sure a lot of time/measuring/cutting/welding went into it. And I also know that he has more than an average understanding on suspension geometry.
