Bolt-in crossover kit

Getting ready to do redo my steering to crossover and was curious what luck you guys have had with pre-fabbed kits. I know there is a few choices out their
and just hoping for some user feedback.

The already made up kit's are easy to bolt in and go. They come with everything needed. What I would do is take the Cover from Pass. side and bolt it onto the driver's side so you don't have to cut the arm off . and it still hold's the spring in place Without a Problem .

With a 4" lift you should be able to use anyones kit, bolt-in.

offroaddesign is really good quality.

Lifted?

I am really interested in a crossover steering but don't really want to buy a ladder to get in and out (59 age). I have 2 92 W250's and 1 D250 (all Cummins). Do you know if any will fit non-lifted or have you lifted yours already? These trucks are very high from factory. Just for clarity, I know the W's are the only ones that need crossover steering added.

Yes I have crossover with 2" lift. 2" is the minimum required in my opinion, it is a very tight fit.

My crossover thread is in the sticky.

Thanks BILTIT. 2" might not be so bad.

This is what I am doing.

It is a bolt on and you don't need a lift or to box the frame like you would with a crossover.
