<strong>Lock to lock is steering-box-based. Has nothing to do with draglink/tierod setup, so it will always be the same # of turns.

IFS to SAS w/ Hysteer = slower steering = more steering wheel movement to turn same distance. Period. That's just the way it is. It's not a big deal, just a fact of life.

I'd estimate, based on non-scientific "seat of the pants" test that Allpro's hysteer requires 1/3 to 1/2 more steering wheel movement than stock IFS. Other people who I have talked to who have gone from IFS to solid have said the same things. People who have gone from double-arm to hy-steer have also said the same thing.

I'm not trying to argue if it's good or bad, it's just a fact.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Thanks, I was just trying to find out what you were comparing speed to, not trying to argue or say good or bad about that. You are comparing IFS->SAS w/ HySteer. I was comparing factory solid axle to HySteer, for which I found no difference. As the original poster was asking about converting from factory solid axle steering to crossover, he'll likely notice no change in steering speed. At least I didn't. Point taken that crossover steering on a SAS truck is slower responding than the original IFS steering. What you lose in speed, you gain in leverage to help turn larger tires, which is probably one of the reasons that the SAS was done in the first place.

The way the AP setups I've had are configured, they steered the wheels from steering stop to steering stop with the box turning from lock to lock. The factory setup was the same, stop to stop = lock to lock. Same # of turns of the steering wheel.
