crossover steering

[ridered333]

its time for me to pick up my parts to do the crossover steering on my dana 60 any suggestions on were i should buy them through i kno ord has em and oru and found another place sky manufacturing anybody have an preferences or know of anyplace else

Sky is good, ORU is overpriced, and ORD are VERY shady to deal with in my experiences.

[ridered333]

yeah i think im gonna go with sky thanks

[GreaseDog]

make sure to put an AutoFab steering box brace on it, changing from loading the steering box in shear to loading them in tension is often disasterous without the brace.

they make the brace for ORD, and ORD takes credit for it even though AutoFab holds the patent for it. just doesnt seem right giving Steve money for something that appears to be his, but isnt. that, and he's an assbag.

There cheper hear.

[ridered333]

thats were i got em and ive never heard anything bad about that setup

[GreaseDog]

i have the Sky brackets, and they're VERY nice. though Kert at DIY4X has some very nice products. his are a couple pieces of steel welded together, where the Sky brackets are a single piece of steel bent to shape.

[ridered333]

yeah i bought the diy4x brackets and im pretty happy with them the only pieces that were welded on them were a couple braces

These guys are quite good to deal with in my experience. If their kit was available when I was buying my crossover I would have gone with them. I ended up with ORD's kit. Jeremy may not like ORD, and he probably has his reason's but their crossover kit is good quality and was priced very competitively at the time.

Hope I'm not too late,

i cant say anything bad about their quality, i've bought from them too. just watch their pricing, and make sure they're charging you the right price for what you're ordering. i had a BIG ordeal with them when i bought my rear springs. had one price posted on the website, and charged me way more, then refused to stand by their advertised price. i ended up meeting them in the middle on price, but it probably took me a week to get to even than point.
