hey guys, i have a 1993 hilux with 3" lifted springs and 2" shackles.
I reciently bought the trailgear highsteer kit with the group buy on here.
Basically i have the arms on and the ifs box into position but cant work out exactly where to position the mounting kit and ifs box..
Any chance of maybe getting a pic of the way one of you guys have set it up?
Also do you have to use a steering shaft extension?
Any advice would be much appriciated.
Cheers
Brad |

as far forward as you can and yes you will have to muck about with the steering shaft, I extended mine (cut and spliced)

Sounds like a good idea..
Any idea of weather this is engineerable?
Cheers, thanks for the help.

Not if you cut and reweld ya steering shaft. I have heard that you can use the shaft from an IFS hilux. Otherwise I can't see it being a problem. Transport may not like it though. |

Yeah talk to a engineer in your area it's him signing off on it at the end of the day. One thing i wouldn't mind looking at is using a 80 series box as the arm swings in front of the box this way you could use the shaft at standard lenght or even shorten it down and have it re splined which i think they'd like more than welding the shaft. |
