I have read some about diff swaps and ram steering but what is every one running ?
Like with lux diffs do you run a lux box ?
or suzuki power steering ?

With MQ diffs do you run MQ steering box ?

What is a good steering choice ? depending on tire size.

I've got the MQ diffs fitted with 36" Simex's and it is powered by a Vit power steering pump and box with the addition of a cooler.

Seems to handle it OK.

Good point Jim, add a cooler if your running bigger diffs/tyres

So know i now what your running for steering but how or what did you do from the steering box to the steering wheel ?

How is it connected at the columb ?

I extended the sierra column as i moved the box forwards. The sierra steering shaft fits the spline on the Vit box.

I belive that you can use the little yota universal joints to connect em up (same as what is on Lux's etc) the shaft diameter and spline count are the same.
