the stock steering will work for now, the only exception is that you might need a dropped draglink. WHen I first got my '81 it had a 4" lift with the stock steering. The draglink was stock, it sucked, swapped out to the dropped draglink--adjustable and that helped.

got rid of the stock push pull and went to High steer with a 94 IFS steering box...box better steering.

SHocks--probably gonna ride rough...

You will need the dropped drag link, a dropped torque arm, an extension bracket for the rear brake proportioning valve lever, possible extended front drive shaft due to spline engagement, longer front / rear shocks, heavier front sway bar, maybe a rear sway bar and wider tires / wheels for stability.

I run 5" springs with the drop drag link, and it works well enough. I don't run any extreme trails, just street and dirt trails. I didn't have to extend the drive shaft but I retained the sway bar and that really limits my axle drop. If you don't use the torque bar and the sway bar you can gain a lot of wheel travel, but the on road handling is sacrificed.

If I had it to do over again I would have saved the $100 on the drop link and put it towards the crossover steering. That’s the next thing I plan on doing once I get back home.

Don't forget to post before and after pictures.
