Hey Leroy, 2 sets, coming right up! lol

I'm trying to come up with some chrome or SS tubing (steering rods) that are larger outside diameter than stock, but will still accept stock tie-rod ends. More for looks than strength. If you have seconds thoughts about going with a crossover steering set-up, DONT! It's the only way to go in my opinion, and I had to be talked into doing it on my truck. Now I would never go back to stock. It 100% eliminates bump steer problems and also takes all that stress off the frame at the steering box. Can't imagine why GM didn't go with this set-up in the first place. If you too would like details on what I did and what parts I used, just shoot me an email or request the info on this post. It's basically a bolt in set-up other than a little weldinging (very little) and using different parts than stock (meaning the steering box and pitman arm). A little fabrication goes along ways for a far superior steering setup. I love mine!
