Default What steering is this?

Not sure what steering this is. I know ita not stock. The guy I bought it from said it was a heavy duty something or other. Can anyone tell from the pics what it is?

It would help to know what part of the front suspension you are talking about? Put an arrow or circle around it so you will get the correct answer.

Wheels are installed wrong. You have directional tires.
Right front and left rear are wrong. Left rear is OK.

It also looks like you have a drop pitman arm where you don't need it. I don't know if that affects the crossover steering like it does the stock inverted "y" setup (creating bumpsteer) but if nothing else it will create more stress on your steering box.

Yea already got the directionals turned around and balanced. It is a rusty short arm lift but no idea how old. The guy I got it from tried to act like he did everything to it but couldn't tell me anything about it and let it go for dirt cheap so obviously didn't know what he had. I'm trying to figure out wat all been done to it... Thanks for any help its much appreciated!!
