Hi gents,
Since the biggest limiting factor to droop/articulation on a SFA Hilux is the shock length and torque rod which is need for for the push/pull steering system. I would like to change to a cross-over steering but all the kits require lifting your vehicle atleast 3inches. So I was thinking of a solution to use the standard steering arms and searched the net till I came across something that might work.
What are your thoughts, I need to find what vehicle locally used that tie rod with the hole in the in it. Overseas the Ford F350 used it and some jeeps.
What are your thoughts?
Regards
Zubair
