I already have Don's track bar but, was wondering about the rest of the linkage. Is anyone using it and if so, can you tell about any benefits or improvement over stock components ?

I assume the articulation is much better and they may help binding of the linkage. I have an 07 and several rubber boots on the linkage have ripped already. Likely because the lift changed angles and I'm hoping the heim fittings ( i believe that's what they're called ) will help with that.

 

I know Cowhand is using that setup. Hopefully he'll chime in. If you call Don he'll tell you everything you want to know.

 

I'm running it on my 2nd gen, but there's little or no difference between using it on a 2nd or 3rd gen.
Steering is more precise, road feel is much better and tire wear issues went away. I got well over 40K out of a set of Swampers with this setup, which is almost unheard of.

The heims outlasted any set of OEM style TRE's I've run as well......

I'll do it sooner than later when I finally get a 3rd gen.

 

great. Thanks for the info. It's pretty much what I expected to hear. Think I'll be given Don a call

 

I'm running the crossover steering. I love it. I absolutely love it. I can let go of the steering wheel and the truck tracks straight. It no longer follows the grooves in the road or nothing. The second you turn the steering wheel the tires turn. I love it.

 

oh..i thought this was the 3rd gen forums!!!

 

Show me a significant difference in the steering setup between the 2nd and 3rd gen and I'll show you a 4 armed midget.

 

What is this mod exactly?

A thread or a website would be great to educate me.

I am running it on mine and it works perfect.

 

i'll let you know in a couple weeks, sent don the money for steering and several other "things".

later, dustin

 

Look what the cat dragged in.....where you been hiding?

 

that's the same set up i put on my 76 ford it had the y type like we have not it was terable bump steer . and probley caused most of the dw in our trucks .. will be getting it soon . i called super lift about doing it for our trucks .they said no glad some body has done it .

 

I been around, just been a little busy with the two kids and work.

I finally in finished up my Defiant dual stabilizer done, check it out on Paul’s site.

 

How much benefit would you see on a stock or mostly stock application?

I have the stock tires but will probably be going to 295's when the stockers wear out. No issues with wear and I'm at 19K.

I'm a big fan of tight and accurate steering feel so if it's worth it in that dept. I would consider doing it.
