Replacing my gear box with power steering

So I've been doing tons and tons of research on doing this but no has any pictures nor a good wright up for doing it. I know people have done it but I don't see how they got it to work. One is a push and pull and the other style is a right to left style. Soooooooo.... How how did they make it work

uhhhhhhh no...
the High-Steer kit replaces the existing steering arms on your axle knuckles.. it puts the tie-rod above the springs and out of harms way (usually). In order to do this, you have to have the ifs steering box, which is a side to side, instead of a push-pull.

Basically, the only thing you'll need from an IFS truck would be the pump, the reservoir, the lines, and the gearbox.. The rest you have to buy or make.
