Crossover steering vs standard.
Crossover steering vs standard.
Hey guys i have a ln106 hilux brought a draglink off a friend to put in. But now realised crossover steering isnt much more exspensive! Hah
Is it worth going to crossover steering? And do you need cert also.
Thankyou

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
I am also interested in this .
Ln106 . +50mm spring's all round . 31s and one day 32 or 33 .
I like the idea of x over steering but if someone tells me it's not worth it then I'll leave it

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
Def worth it, not only will it unlock so much more potential from the front end its nicer steering.
Obviously it would need cert and theres also a flow on effect once u start changing bits.
Steering box needs replaced with ifs style side to side steering box, torque rod removed only needed for the old push pull steering to stop bump steer under braking etc.
A drop hanger needs to be fitted to clear steering and chassis.
At this point you might as well put rear leaves in the front (slightly longer flexier also relocates front axle forward 50 odd mm) which helps clear larger tyres without trying to eat the rears of the front gaurds.
Then theres longer shackles
Relocated and lowered bump stops
Longer shocks
Modified or longslip driveshaft.
Hope this helps
Thanks stu

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
Sorry for such delayed response thanks for that info! Sounds like the way to go ill look into it after ive finished putting a turbo on the old girl. Cheers!
Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
So ive had a wee look into the conversion thinking ill buy 3 inch lifted springs for the rear and buy cross over steering and u bolt flip kits and put rears in the front. Do you have to weld a new mount on to mount the ifs box?
Cheers
Cheers

what are you looking at? because 70 series tie rod & drag link are cheap.simintrev wrote:buy cross over steering

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
ruf good for bigger tyres but might (I haven't done it on ute) mean that there isn't much room for surf ifs box, its pitman arm swings out the back. an option to have more room for steering box/arms is use a 78 prado or 80 series box because pitman arm sticks out the front.simintrev wrote:put rears in the front

I would imagine so but 70 series TR & DL are way cheaper from Toyota.sirLachlan wrote:Will the 4wd bits high steer kit work with a ln106 and fresh + 50 mm springs with the front diff 25 mm forward of stock ?

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
Awesome . Does anyone know the part numbers ? Or will they give is the right parts if we just ask for 70 series cruiser tie rod and drag rod ?
What other parts are needed
Ifs box . Earlier is better ? ??
Build or buy ifs box mount .
Do the 70 series ball joints mate to the high steer arms from 4wd bits ?
Pit man arm ? Need a flat one for 2 inch lift . Drop arm for bigger lift . Is the srock one flat enough for 2 inch lift ?
Steering column extender ? Or part of a surf column if available .
Thanks

Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
not all Toyota stuff uses the same size tapered shanks on the balljoints, check what bits your using before buying some 70 series stuff they use the larger size tapers
Re: Crossover steering vs standard.
Lots of posts on here about this before and a few bits seem to be missing I. This post. My understanding is that the dropped crossmember is required to allow enough space between the spring and the chassis at full up travel for the tie rod and drag link. It also allows you to move things forward a bit more. Remember springs are longer and shackles will be longer (I went for 50mm) so being able to move the front mounts allows you to get shackle angle right.
New top shock mounts are required to get the most travel out of it and this also allows you to correct the shock angle.
Ifs surf steering box is the go with a flat after market arm to allow you to get it nice and close to the chassis hence more clearance from springs.
This should allow you to run 35s without a body lift.
