not sure if it'd even work everyone says no but if anyone has a stock steering arm let me know, I'd let to get one to see if I can work something out besides crossover.

or even a raised one maybe.

I think the steering geometry would be horrible. As much as folks make fun of it, I think a far better option is to flip the tie rod and run a drag link to the stabilizer hole. You could keep your stock steering box/sector shaft too.

that's what Curt and I were just discussing. I was looking at options though, seeing if the stock arm would even work, if so I could do things to make it better geometry, they have spacers, drop pitman's drop drag links etc.

I had even considered seeing if the stock tie rod setup would double as a drag link, meaning buy another one, get the 44 knuckle and such, and use it instead of dom tubing and inserts.

if I have to run dom and inserts no big deal for me, the knuckle is what I'm trying to avoid lol.
