I do relize that this topic has been beat to death over the years. Things change with time and have not seen anything up to date on the subject. Just want to see if something new has come along. I have an 86 Chevy CUCV M1008 5/4 ton pickup with a diesel, 6 inch lift, and 36 inch Swampers, D60 and 14 bolt. I need to get some more turning radius out of this bus. Will a cross over help this? If so, will I be able to use the stock steering box with a new arm or what? The truck has hydroboost, if that makes a difference. Just like everyone else these days, I'm broke. Looking for a cost effective solution. Thanks for the help.

The most cost effective solution for what you want is to leave it alone. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Swapping the steering is going to be a costly endeavor.

What do you consider costly? To me cost effective is scrounging around junk yards for parts or making what I need. I'm capable, not an employee of a magazine that has access to sponsors parts. Let's build a new truck with $100,000 in new parts and wheel the snot out of it, then send it to the crusher. I build and wheel, I'm just looking for new products for an old subject. Indexed pitman arms or gear boxes made over with new parts etc. Guess I'm looking in the wrong place. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory is a ridiculous come back. If that was the case, then the only thing we would see on trails would be stock cj2's.
