what is the differance between crossover steering and high steer crossover steering?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #1 on:** Jan 08, 2004, 10:42:36 PM »

On high steer the tie rod and draglink is above the springs, on normal crossover just the drag link is above the springs.

are there any benifits to high steer . i was going to just weld 2 arms together and make my own crossover steering with some heim joints. 400 bucks is a lot off cash for some thing i can make with spare parts.

Benifits would be getting your tie-rod up and out of the way of the rocks and the crossover gets you better leveridge on your steering

I just made my own a few weeks ago. did the same thing you are talking about. The only catch is I used a manual box. kinda defeats the purpose I suppose but it is a lot better than the origional steering that was on there!

If you only knew the way it used to steer! It had a power box that I never bothered to hook up, stock draglink, and to make it more difficult on myself I put a new set of 39.5 tsl's with 3 in backspacing on it for a while. Now when it was like that yes I was almost buff! The things you do to a DD;)

That sounds like something you would wind up and dump the clutch then steer with the rear
