Lets see your solid axle steering set ups

[Robn69]

I'm redoing my steering on my 90 ex cab 1500 with a solid axle swap. And I think it would be cool to see how everyone did it and specs to gets some ideas. So post them up.

Stock steering box, 98-03 durango pitman arm, reamed for 1 ton tre. Links are 1.5".25 wall dom, with ruff stuff weld in 3/4" bungs. Stock knuckle drilled out with jk tre flip from poly performance. All tre are 1ton gm, pass side is a 1 ton gm tre with a dampener mount also reamer out. Only thing I had to do was ever so slightly grind the top corner of the tre to clear H2 rims, anything with less backspace would be fine

I have the same ORD setup as you only i have the tie rods opposit from you... is there a rite or wrong?? It steers great

Did you use a Chevy axle? That's a Ford 60. Do you have high steer?

 

[eg30.06]

Nope ford d60 and still have the factory ford tierods. Just the crossover steering so far

 

[silver98z71]

The only difference, if indeed your tierod is in its factory location and your draglink is in the rearward hole on your steering arm, is a tighter turning radius. I'd leave it alone if you feel no negative effects.

Here is what I did on my DD/Hauler/Tow'er. My tie-rod goes behind the axle. I used the springless arms and offset TREs from PartsMike.

There is roughly an inch of clearance between the shock and the tie rod. If I didn't have the offset TREs, I would have had to redo my shock mounts.
