will be running SPOA very shortly and im just trying to work out how to do with steering... the sky OTS kits look good but are pretty $$$.

would the stage one kit be sufficient ??

would a Z link with drop pitman arm work ??

any info would be awesome.

Z-link is dodgy as shit.

[also76]

yeah i figured the z link and drop arm would be shithouse...

how about the OTS kit tho, would the stage one be sufficient ???

or does anyone know of somewhere else to get a kit ? or even make one up ??

I have a rocky road one that I used a few years back when mine was spoa.
I dont think there are any arms left but you shouldn't need them.
stage 1 is fine, but I have both brakets , I only ever ran the 1
if you like I can have a look for them

its drives better spring under and usually stays upright

is stage1 a crossover steering kit? i dunno if i'd do that with SPOA, you'd prolly get a LOT of bump steer.

If you're going to use the Sky steering kit, use the full kit.
The Stage 1 kit only supplies 1 steering arm and retains the lower tierod in stock location.

I've used both the snake racing high steer knuckle and sky OTS full kit with my SPOA setup, before reverting back to SPUA.
Both have their quirks but can perform as intended if set up correctly.
The sky full kit would be my choice if I were to go SPOA again. Realistically though, it is an unnecessary mod with the range of suspension options available.

As well as steering, assess what needs to be changed in regards to axle wrap, brake lines, shocks and driveline lengths.
