Okay guys i just wana get everyones 2 cents on the steering set up and choices after a soa. I have a 1977 j10 with soa and dont run a x-over, hi-steer, or any other form of drasticly changed steering set up. I run a set up that is just as safe as any x-over set up ive seen. i drive 40 miles a day on my set up and have no problems.
My set up is a 6" DPA from bj's offroad and the stock steering arm i took a piece of round tubing and bent it using a manderal bender that drops my arm low enough to clear the leaf spring and still turn the wheels far enough to rub on both sides. i fabbed up a few pieces of 1/4" metel to strengthen up the steering arm bend to ensure no bending. it still has all the adjustments it did stock.
My whole steering set up only cost me about 35$ and works great. If you can cut, weld, and use a mesuring tape you can do this set up. I know its not the best way to do it but for people out there like myself who build there FSJ's one pay check at a time it helps alot.
I would like to get some feedback on my set up and get other peoples ideas on steering set ups.
