You can get the power steering box, and pitman arm.

You will need the bracing plate for the box, draglink, tie rod and the high steer arms.

You can't use the pitman arm, you need an 80series pitman, as the tierods/balljoints are tapered splines and on the ifs arm the spline is on the arm its self.

Feccckk, i'd check them out if they had a 50% off sale haha, you can get the kits alot cheaper than that, if you look outside the "big brand" lar de dah companies.

as weiners link shows he just saved you 500 dollars.

the catch is if you want to get it engineered or not ,
if your are going to do it properly then you need to do alot more homework as i think snake racing is the only shop that has dot approval :D
im not premoting them but , its just what ive come across
