expensive but worth it

when i did my last toy diff build i did flip arm.. worked ok i guess.

be carefull with this kit from low range. its listed as being the right length steering arms (that bolts to the knuckle) to suit the sierra pitman arm but when i rang them to ask for a rhd kit the same, it was going to be a mix matched kit. essentially a hilux hi steer kit with a shortened draglink to suit the sierra box. i actually had to ask the direct question " are the steering arms going to be the shorter legnth to match the sierra pitman arm" before he told me it was a modified rhd hilux kit.

i ended up dealing with sky directly and had several phone calls and emails to get exactly what i was after...
other thing to note is you will need a fair bit of height for this kit as chassis and sump clearances (j20) became an issue for me.

Just got the hilux diffs for my conversion from leaf to link. I am after the best steering set up. I have seen the double arms which are connected to the passenger side knuckle using a tie rod with damper bracket and Drag link. Other options out there are the same as the sierra with a tie rod and draglink connected. Opinions? Pictures? I am looking at what has worked.

looks simple enough..So it worked fine just flipping the arms.... I would not say expensive considering what the other places in Aus are asking for the same thing. Cheaper to buy form OS at the moment while the aussie $ is good....

The steering box you use will dictate how long your draglink will need to be and whether or not you can use a prefabbed one. Also the steering box/axle location, the suspension, ride hieght and bumpstop spacing you are going with will dictate whether or not you can run full highsteer. The Superior crossover arm is simply 2 hilux passenger arms welded together which is relativley simple to copy, cut up a stock Lux J arm for the drivers side and some custom bar/tube for the draglink and tierod, this is the setup I am using.
