Why do we have it on the W trucks and not the D trucks? I am on my second cracked plate. I know they remove it to do the crossover setup. Is it a clearance issue that requires the use of that plate?

they use it on the 4x truck's cause of the drag link If you go to crossover you can forget that plate plus have a better driving truck

Would a dropped pitman arm allow clearance for the draglink to eliminate the plate? I don't understand why I'm on my second plate when I never take the truck off road and I'm running stock 235/85-16 tires.

I think I read that you need a lift to use crossover steering. How much of a lift I do not remember.

I've heard you need 4" or more of lift to get the crossover steering to work.

Oh how I wish I had highsteer crossover steering.

Yes I believe you need at least 4 in . of lift to run crossover steering but it's worth Every Penny you spend on it makes the truck alot more fun to drive .

Are you using the redesigned steering box mount ? The New box bracket PN # 52037876 is slightly thicker then the original. As for the reinforcement bracket is being reproduced by Dodge Connection @ $48.00

For a How To on boxing the frame at the box see this link to Ramcharger Central

Crossover on a non lifted truck is hit or miss and will require a fair bit of mods to get it to work. The major issue is the engine cross member the drag link could be bent for some clearance but it would take a lot.

Bogie, thanks for that info.
