crossover steering
can i do crossover on a stock highboy with stock superduty springs in the front? is there enough room? i have done the power steering upgrade from a 78/79 ford.

Why? Push pull works better without a panhard.

Re: crossover steering
Well because the steering arm on the knuckle is hitting my shock. So if I eliminate that with crossover and make it a little cleaner looking and easier to steer to.

Re: crossover steering
Disc brake axles got wider, needed longer steering arms, longer pitman arms, and therefore have a longer driver side shock mount with the upper mount moving the next rearward set of holes in the frame. Been covered a few dozen times on this forum.koch68 wrote:Well because the steering arm on the knuckle is hitting my shock.
