Hows it handle on the road with the high steer kit? I've heard it'll give you a lot of bump steer...
yeah I can do that. For your parts list, I run a 1978 Ford Dana 60 reverse rotaion. Offroad Unlimited SAS kit leaf spring hangers(modified slightly). It has 5.13 gears with a powertrax lock right locker. I run stock 35 spline inner shafts, and chrome molly 35 spline outter stub shafts. It has WARN 35 spline premium lock out hubs. For the steering I run Off Road Design (ORD), crossover steering. It has a 3" drop pitman arm, custom drag link (you need to have this custom made after you get your steering together. your take the measurements and them make one up to fit), with 5/8th tie rod ends. ORD steering arm, ORD high steer arm, ORD dom high steer tie rod with 5/8th rod ends. (use the tie rod ends. the ORD ones are stronger than hiems). Then I run a custom Hydraulic Ram assist steering. ORD king pins and bushings. See my build thread on this in this forum. You can make it yourself rather than pay 1000$ for a PSC kit. Barnes 4WD diff guard. Tom Woods 1350 pinion yoke. That's my front axle in a nutshell. Damn, when I break it down like that I just realized how much money Ive sunk into that 35 year old Axle. ****...
