i know this isnt a huge build but i still believe it is a good build project.
i have a 1992 f350 that has the ball joint dana 60. as you all probably know, you cant do crossover with it as-is. and since these axles are going to get more and more popular being thats what will be hitting the junk yards now, i figure alot of people will be wanting to do this. i have done a ton of research. you have a few choices.
offroadunlimited has a kit. it is a little more than $600. but it comes with some DOM and tie rods for the drag link.
skymanufacturing has a similiar kit. it is $475. but i called them and they said it would be about $325 without the DOM and tie rods. this is probably the option i am going with.
i did talk to brandon at RIDES. he can have a knuckle done.
there is a few more companies out making similar kits.
i am building my own heim joint steering. that is why i dont wont the DOM and tie rods offered in most kits.
so the first thing to do is tear the front end apart.
this is how the knuckle looks now.
if you go with an online company, you haft to mail your knuckle to them, they will mill the top down and drill some holes and bolt an arm on. offroadunlimited welds theres. and they mail it back to you.
so this will take me a little bit to complete. but i will show everything i can.
oh yeah, the reason i am doing this is, the factory steering is horrible when you lift and have big tires. i have a 3inch front shackle lift, and with just that the drag link will rub the leaf spring in a decent flex. and i have put 3 sets of tie rods on with about 40k miles. they just wear out fast.
