Crossover steering linkage and bump steer

[northernleitz]

Got a '74 Bronco I'm rebuilding. I installed a 5.5" James Duff suspension lift, which included a drop pitman arm and track bar drop bracket. I later added a crossover steering linkage setup and a modified '78-79 steering box. I'm concerned that the difference in the angles of the steering linkage and the track bar may make for some wonky highway handling. Thinking about putting the original pitman arm back on. Opinions?

I'd try a stock pitman arm or a Wild Horses track bar riser.

Looks like the stock p-arm would do it.

Prob. not so much a prob. on hwy. (except for dips) but likely a lot of "bump-steer" on the trail. <_<

Front axle appears to be tilted forward in that pic..???

OK, I am leaning toward putting the stock pitman arm back on there. I don't have the engine, transmission, etc installed yet so maybe that accounts for the forward tilt ... ?
