Crossover Steering for Toyotas
Next, the tie rod was installed in the driver-side steering arm. Our setup used common GM tie-rod ends that are readily available at most any parts store.
The other end of the tie rod was connected to the rear of the passenger-side arm and one end of the new crossover drag link connected to the forward end.
4x4 Labs manufactures steering arms in multiple height offsets to accommodate most any lift and Toyota axle configuration.
Finally, the drag link with GM-tapered tie-rod end was attached to the pitman arm.
With the installation complete, you can see the position of the tie rod behind the axle, lying above the leaf springs.
A view of the completed setup from the front shows plenty of forward clearance, with no tie rod in front of the axle, and the drag link positioned high and angled up to the steering box. This rig is ready for the rocks.
