Need suspension help
Ok I'm trying to figure out what steering system to go with. I plan on running a Dana 60 up front with a 9in lift. Let me know if I need to add anything else. Thanks

Sounds like quite the build. Check out our 3 link and let me know if you have any questions.
We also offer a triangulated 4 link rear if you wanted to go all out.

I am not trying to come across as a jerk but think you need to start doing some research and lots of it if you can not figure this out your in way over your head already.

We can make our crossover steering setups to any length you would like. This set up works great, and even better if you get yourself some high steer arms.
I have been doing my research for a long time but I haven't found much that I have been interested in or that doesn't help me. I'm not in over my head I just like to see what people think works the best or what people think sucks.

what size tires do you plan on runnin with the setup, i think that if your goin with 40s or bigger, go full hydro, best chance of not havin any problems with bump steer. thats what my buddy tells me

Tire size doesn't dictate whether or not you have bump steer. Drag link to track bar angle does. That being said if you are going that big then I would suggest full hydro if you don't plan on It being road legal. If you want it to be road legal then a nice high steer crossover setup would be good along with hydro assist.

First off you don't need 9" to run 38s, I'm doing it with a smidge over 6". That being said get the knuckles machined for high steer arms if it's ball joint or get king pin high steer arms if it's king pin. Skip the crossover unless you like roll steer. With good high steer arms you won't need crossover. You don't necessarily need hydro or hydro assist but it would be nice with the bigger tires. I've got an assist setup I'm working on, just have other things that are more important at the time. If you plan on driving it on the street most states frown upon full hydro, plus if the engine dies you can't steer. There is a ton of info out there you just have to look. Google is you friend, just search Dana 60 high steer.
