All that work... and no high steer?? Keeping the J-arm?

Well, he did flip the ball Bill <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi steer, not with that low a truck.
he could still do low steer, maybe he hasnt thought of it yet... COREY!!!

Hi steer can be done w/ less than 3" of lift as long as the drag link is positioned right relative to the frame and the tie-rod relative to the oil pan... and bump stops are set appropriately.

I've owned one.

C'mon guys. If this was my rig, I sure as h-ll wouldn't be taking through boulder fields. Nothing more than fire service roads thru the woods. Don't need no hi-steer for that, or dual cases, or exo.... see where I'm coming from??

Agreed. I look at cross-over steering, in cases like this, an option for making the steering "feel" and "perform" better (quoted for a reason).

We are not talking rock buggy here. High steer (or at least a proper crossover steer) is simply superior in all applications. Dual cases and exo were not mentioned. Do you see where I'm coming from?

On IFS/SAS, true, you need lift to do high steer. Not so much on an SA truck.

The high steer kits are stronger, reduce bump steer, and offer better response.

sorry for the delay in my reply ... Had problems logging in .

NO hi steer . I dont need it . With all NEW components steering will be just fine , + it saves me having to replace the oil pan , and relocate the dipstick .

progress .. i'm waiting for the bearings I ordered , and the discs to be turned ... but I did get the backing plates finally pressed off .

so started with the backing plates , and started to strip off the brakes , and un-necessary stuff for the swap .




knocked out the studs that hold in the bearing retainer ..



and knocked off the backing plate ..




and got them all cleaned up ready for the POR treatment .



.

so finally got my rotors back ..

just for referance , rotors are for the /80's chev 6bolt light duty 1" thick .. (the heavy duty 1.3" thick wont work with the calipers ).

center hole has to be "bored" out to fit the toyota axle ..



so with that the new bearings



are "poped" into the bearing retainers



outer seal installed



and then pressed on to the axle .

axles are stuffed in , and rotors are installed .. calipers , and test fit of the pads .
