IFS Steering Box Conversion

[waldo1979]

I've got a 1981' Pickup 4wd which has a faulty steering box. I would like to replace the stock steering box with an IFS steering box while still using stock tie-rods. The truck has a 2" lift with runs 31" tires, so it doesn't seem like it needs a X-over tie-rod system (until I break it on a rock). Can someone tell me what this would entail and if it's feasible?

You can't use an IFS box with push pull steering. The pitman arms swing different between your stock steering box and the IFS one. You'll have to either run X-over or Hy-steer.
