Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey im working with an engineering mob to designe a high steer kit for the GU....
it will involvle rising the stearing linckages to match your suspention lift so it sits at the same hight as origonal, to keep the geometry rite.

just trying to find out expression of interest in people wanting thease ??

cheers

price pending and strength, id be interested in 2 sets.

well there getting made from a block of billet in a mill...

but as for price... the more i get made the cheaper it will be for everyone so thats why i poasted up...

Mounting/bracing? Need to hold up to 42's and hydro steer.

I'd like to see the prototype first. But im keen.

im keen on a set, are you gunna put them up for a trial on someones truck first and get their feed back

id be keen for 2 sets, but as said above, what are you using for mounts? Really need more than just the 4 kingpin bolts

Yeah i'd be keen too but would like to see some pics or drawings of the design first

With the high steer, have you taken into consideration the panhard angles will now be messed up? you will have to lift your axle end panhard mount.

I'd be interested in one for a GQ. Also whats the go with having to have the pan-hard rod on the same angle as the drag-link?

If there's much difference in angle then you'll get bump steer. During travel the axle swings in an arc determined by the panhard. If it's a different arc to the drag link, it'll add it's own input into the direction the wheels point. Not to be confused with wheel shimmy or castor related feedback.

i think gqs can run mq knuckles to get high steer?

Thanks guys. I just want to get the front to flex better but it already binds out the tie rod on the pitman arm end as it is.

Think this is what I'm after?

What was previously mentioned is correct!

You MUST lift your panhard to the same angle as the drag link otherwise your steering will kick and wander with every bump.....

how do you plan on high steering the tie rod?

hi mousie, after a couple of weeks, is there an update on how is the high steer kit going with your engineers? and have you any idea on a price so far? would be keen if the price is reasonable. cheers micko

yes part of the kit will be a bracket that locates over the origonal mount for location, then welded to the diff raising the new pick-up point.

by removing the top kingpin brearing mounting plate as teh highstear will have that machined into it it will then drop down and locate ont he origonal tie rod pickup point and then the new point will be off this thus giving you 4" rased new mount.

yes this lifts both steering and panhard arms both 4"




sorry for the late reply guys .... hope this helps.
as for costing we have not worked out what sorta money thease will be worth just yet

cheers

hey just posint up a couple of pics of the steering arm bracket so you guys can get an indear
the pic that is blue is the one from being stess tested at 1.1T force

let me know what u guys think
cheers

will these have a left and right or only raise the drag link?

I'd go for the Snake Racing one for sure. I don't like the idea of a 2 piece setup.

I think your design is quite good, although i would retest with a higher loading. EG: our 'std' hyd assist setup is capable of ~1.7-2t of force from the assist cylinder, then add in the power of the steering box.

When will this be available and how much will it cost? I am in need of a hi steer very soon.

Does anyone else still make a high steer kit for patrols? Or has anyone got one they want to sell

Call rdg engineering. I'm pretty sure they are selling these already.

I have tried calling them but the number I have doesn't work, do have their number?

Nah sorry mate, pretty sure they got all there details on facebook
