Crossover Steering
I have been trying to find a kit online that comes with the drag link, tie rod and neccessary tie rod ends, but im not having any luck finding what i need.
Anyone know of where to get a kit? Or what exactly i need to build it myself??
EDIT: OVER THE KNUCKLE STEERING

Honestly, I would look into the WJ knuckle swap. you can get a crossover steering with a somewhat semi-hi steer, and you get huge brakes with dual piston calipers.

JCR and Iron Rock off road make a nice setup. The Currie setup is beef but is similar to the stock setup just stronger.
Dont have any first hand with an OTK setup but wanted to give you some options.

I've heard good things about JCR's OTK steering, though I've never personally run it.
And yes, I would still recommend the WJ swap. Honestly it's one of the best improvements you can do, you can go for OTK steering and you upgrade your brakes big time.

Be prepared to have some play in any crossover steering even with the puck JCR uses that replaces the boot on one tie rod end. the tie rod pivots when you turn a little that gives it the play. You hardly notice it after a while.

I really like the Iron Rock Set up.
When I upgrade that is going to be my choice.
I just picked up there tierod from them to replace my stocker and it is pure beef and the otk system is out of the same material.

Thanks all. Iron rocks kit looks good but why is the drag link under the knuckle? It seems like the tie rod should be under and the drag would be on top to reduce the angles?

Sorry to hijack but if anyone who uses JCR's 1 ton kit could please answer this question. I'm not sure if you are supposed to remove the rubber boot around the tre when you use the poly spacer or just sandwich it in between the tre and knuckle.
