i've got an 81 pickup. i got a spring company to make me some 14 inch lift springs for it. i've got 44's already on it. the problem i'm havin is with the steering. i know my stock isn't gonna work for sure. i ordered a crossover kit with an ifs box. it should be comin in any day. i think my springs have too much of an arch in the front for my drag link to connect straight and not be in too much of a bind. my tie rod is hooked up now with the stock pieces so i know this isn't gonna be a problem. its just the drag link. i was hopin somebody has had this big of a lift before that has ran into this same problem. i'd appreciate it if anybody could give me some suggestions, ideas, anything.

 

post some pic's....good luck with this one

 

With the histeer your tie rod will go over the springs but if you think they are too arched you could probly rig the crossover up and leave your tie rod under the springs

 

yes pics .. we want pics of this 44'd beast... ill bet those springs you got look like the McDonald's arches.

 

14 inch lift springs?

 

dont forget ... those springs will sag somewhat !!

yeah, the tie rod is under the leaf springs now bolted up but i don't know about with the kit. it should come in monday or tues. i'll be able to know more about what i need and what i'm gonna have to fab to make it all work. i was thinkin about makin a custom drop drag link for the crossover kit and weld some gussets in for support. but i just don't know how well it'd work. i'll for sure get yall some pics up on here. i'm ready to see it out of the dang shop. if yall got any other suggestions, feel free to share em

I think this is the only safe way to have that kind of lift.
