Sweet! Looks like you've caught up & are about to pass me on the one-ton race!! Awesome!

msgross · 07-11-2007, 01:22 PM

crossover steering too....nice. Is that a borgeson u-joint on the steering shaft?

Burt4x4 · 07-11-2007, 04:56 PM

Yup Crossover Highsteer from WFO Concepts, the best part is the steering arms eliminate the kiingpin springs so no death wobble comming from the D60

Yes that is Borgsen Ujoint w/vibration dampner. I figured with the compition style engine mounts I am running there my be more vibrations on the frame from the 454 so to keep my hands from tingeling I got the ujoint w/ the dampner in it, seams to work great!

Gotta look into that, I just shimmed mine and I see it as only a band aid.
Would rather fix it right.

I ended up not usig the double arm you will see on that link MY 454 oil pan was in the way so WFO made me two single arms to put the highsteer infront of the axel insted of behind it. fine with me I just wanted thoes damn deathwobble springs outa there

I will get some pics of my custom crossover/highsteer sooon...maybe I will crawl under there tonight and snap a couple..I was waiting until I pulled it away from the wall...I'll see if I can get a good pic..
By the way Trevor over at WFO is THE MAN! He worked with me every step of the way and never lost patients with me, super cool guy to work with!
