The $300 price for a high steer kit is kind of misleading, you also need to get a hold of an IFS steering box ($100+) and a mounting kit ($40-60)

The drop drag link has a bend it as opposed to being straight like the stock drag link allow it to help with better steering on a lifted truck....

Ignore my springs, one picture I had on mine..
Here is a picture that I stole from one of 4Crawler's post that shows one installed(but this one the steering ball has been flipped):


New one on ebay for $99 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...spagenameZWD1V
This one is nice since it is adjustable

draglink

don't waste money on a drop drag link. I put one on my 85 and I am all over the road. As soon as I can afford it I am getting high steer. In a strong wind there is so much play I literally switch lanes. Scary. I put it on according to the sheet they give you and it sucked. Then I tightened it as much as I could without it binding, still sucked. Just my experience some others may be different.

Should work just like a stock link

I had one and it wasnt that great, still binds up under flex and your tie rod is still venerable to damage offroad. I sold mine and im picking up trail gear high steer and an IFS steering box.

Go with the high-steer even if u can only buy 1 piece at a time. It would be better in 6 months if you had a good set up. than a crappy one. From what i've gathered you get rid of the torque bar and sway bar with high-steer. and it's alot tougher.
