stock drag link and tie rod question

I finally have a little cash now to try and redo my steering set up and I was wondering if the stock drag link and tie rods would work with my sas set up, I was also going to buy the high steer steering arms for each side to try and hope it will go over the springs. Please let me know if this will work as I dont have much cash but really ned to get this thing on the road. Im also running 35x 10.50/15 tires.

Pretty sure the high steer arms have holes that are too big for the stock tie rods, as they're mostly all made to use fj80 rod ends. Nt entirely sure, but even if the holes are the right size, pretty sure the draglink is shorter for stock arms than the distance between high steer arms.

Where'd you find 35 x10.5's?

I guess it didnt come out right, lol. What if I used the stock atrms as well but I have been trying to do some reserch and now im not sure if I can use a drag link and tie rod from and older yota because it was a push pull kind. I thought the drag link came down and went somewhere through the center of the tierod somewhere, what to do now.

High steer. Some people have modified the stock arms for some sort of high steer/crossover steering, but they are cast and people who know more about welding than me have said that's not really a good idea to weld cast stuff for steering parts.

Not sure of your that 'didn't come out right lol ' referred to that.. you can edit posts

Also I would suggest adding your truck info to your signature..
ie: 87 SAS truck or something..
