crossover steering is on!

well as some of you know ive been kicking around the idea of crossover steering. well i did the swap and also while i was doing the steering i also replace my worn out junk yard steering box(long story) with a rebuilt one. well i got the sky manufacturing setup i wasn't exactly impressed with the kit but it fit and worked well. so my final impressions on the change is that it is a total different truck. it steers better than it did befor i put the lift on it! just thought i would share and help anyone else trying to make this decision. but like i said i did replace the box so i cant really say how big of a difference the crossover made but what i do know is that the truck was horrible to drive and now it feels like a brand new truck!

I built my own CO steering for one of my 93s. It cost about half of what a kit does. The biggest improvement I noticed was being able to turn sharper.
