Hi Biltit- I just put in a 2.5" skyjacker and want to do crossover. How did your build go witht he NOrthwest kit?
Thanks

BILTIT

They were not interested. You basically have to build a drag link yourself (from a company but need to bend to suit your needs) but all other components are readily available.

I would keep all my reciepts for the skyjacker springs. I had a set, my shop went out of business and I couldn't provide a reciept that met their warranty requirements. My springs failed in about three years. from a lift spring to a frown.

getting ready to do this conversion on my jeep... well, dodge, cummins, thing... that's what it is... i'll fill out my sig line later, but the parts links you posted aren't valid anymore... i'm seeing where partsmike has a dana 60 flat steering arm... but not exactly sure if that's the right one or not... and i want to get it reamed for the 1 ton TRE's any chance you would check and see if the parts you got are still the one's available??? thanks...

BILTIT

Tie rod info and arm links below. They will ream it to what ever you like just see the tie rod info and let them know what you are using.

awesome... thanks for the quick reply...

BILTIT

No problem. Good luck with your crossover.

hey... the rest of the thing has been an adventure building... this should be too... it's a 77 jeep cherokee (full size) on a heavily modified 92 dodge frame with the 92's diesel engine, an NV4500, a dana 70HD rear axle, and a whole host of other mods from random vehicles... i've only got about 1.5" of lift on the front, so it'll be tight... but i think it can be done... i'll post pics here after i do it...

Hello good morning I just finished reading thru this complete thread and placed an order for the wj pitmon arm that miser and biltit ended up with from ooconee for $20.75 with free shipping anyone know where to purchase the correct reamers for the TRE modification to the arm? as I get my parts collected I will follow the thread and others and once I start doing my crossover I will try to update progress with pictures . wish me luck

BILTIT

What TRE's are you using? I didn't have to modify the arm at all.

EDIT: I didn't modify it because parstmike did it for me. It is cheaper to have them do it than buying a reamer.

I was concerned with having it done by them after see how deep the TRE set in the pictures of your arm from them so I figured I will purchase the tooling and do it myself can never have enough of the correct tools when you do all your own repairs .

BILTIT

I think those are pics of the first arm they sent me, was reamed for the wrong tre. They sent the proper one after that.

wish i had know that before i ordered the one i did ... oh well i guess i still need to find a reamer then and file out the clocking lugs . does any one know what reamer is required to do the TRE bore in the arm ?? I guess i could take it to a machine shop when it arrives

BILTIT

Just order another one from then, they are cheap. They take care of the clocking lugs too.
