Just wondering if anyone is running these springs just want to know how much I will need to move the mounts and also what the best size shackles to run are front and back also when installing crossover steering on a ln65 do I need to install a power steering pump from a Ida model as well as the box or just the steering box
Cheers
Kane

install instructions can be found on the locktup and or trail-gear website. for highsteer u use the IFS powersteering box only, powersteering pump will be the same or useable.

Is that the case even when I don't have power steering it is a 85 single cab with no power steering

If you dont have power steer and you want to fit high steer you will need to fit power steer...Toyota didnt make a left to right non powersteer box ...

So virtually my best best is to fit power steering first and then get the high steer fitted or would it be easier just doing the whole lot in one hit

If you dont have power steer and your wanting to go to high steer just fit it all at once cause you need to fit an indepenant power steer box and they are mounted differently to a standard box...
indepenant box will not work with your current steering system either...

If the same engine is fitted to both yes will be fine.. if not the pump will be fin you might have to modifiy the mounts... welcome to the world of modifications... it will never stop now...

Yours would have a L or 2L diesel? in which case powersteering from a 3L or 2LTE will suit
