It gives you the shallowest angle of the drag link. The flatter it is the easier it steers and the less bump-steer you get back. My truck uses a passenger side knuckle that has an arm bolted to the top of it. This gives you the highest mounting point. I also have a dropped pitman arm. The combo gives you about the flattest draglink you can get with a crossover setup. I ended up paying for a new knuckle and steering arm, which ran around $200-250. If you shop around, and depending on what axle you have up front, you can probably find the parts used for about a 1/4 of that. I don't have anypics of my setup, all of my images are from when I ran hydraulic steering. Talk about expensive, and wasn't worth it.
What all have you done to your truck so far?

So far, nothing. In fact im not driving it right now because its sitting in our barn while i do some work on it for the winter.
How were you able to do your crossover so cheap? The guy that wants to put on my sfa lift wants like 1200 bucks to do the crossover + 600 for the lift itself. He told me the crossover wasnt neccesary but should be done. Also ORU's kits for crossover are like 1000+ i think. Do you have links to what all you bought?
