I have a 1979 yota 8 inches of suspension lift no body lift and I'm running a set of 38.5 gumbos. I went out playing the other day and broke my front driveshaft so I just continued in 2 wheel drive. I hit a mound of dirt and bent the link that connects the two front wheels!( anything I can use to make this stronger or is there something out there that is sold for this issue???) also the arm that drops from the steering box and connects to the drivers front wheel bent! it was home made where can I find one that will be stronger??? any info will help! Thanks,Richard

Please PM with any info. Thanks

You can put a hysteer kit on if you don't have it already.

If you are stuck on the stock push-pull setup, you can sleeve the tie rod (connects the two wheels together) or maybe get ahold of a tie rod from one of the crossover steering vendors. Use the FJ80 tie rod ends and the heavy DOM tubing tie rod and it'll hold up better. On the drag link, assume you must have a dropped drag link (an S-shaped one). If so, and yours bent more, probably best to replace it and then brace it up with some gussets.

Or pop for a crossover steering kit as mentioned above, that will lift the steering up above the spring and make it nearly bullet proof:
