Master the Terrain: The Definitive Dana 60 Kingpin High Steer Conversion When you are building a dedicated off-road machine, your front axle takes the brunt of the abuse. The Dana 60 is legendary for its strength, but lifting your rig heavily compromises the factory steering geometry. To regain proper handling and protect your vital steering components from rock damage, upgrading to a premium Dana 60 high steer kit is the smartest move you can make for your build. Why You Need a Dana 60 Steering Kit Upgrade Running oversized mud tires and tackling aggressive trails exposes the severe weaknesses of a stock push-pull steering setup. A dedicated Dana 60 crossover steering kit solves these handling woes by moving the steering linkage up and over the leaf springs, completely changing the pivot points to match your lifted suspension. Fixing Geometry with an HD Crossover Steering Kit By installing an hd crossover steering kit, you eliminate the severe angles that cause bump steer and "death wobble." A proper Dana 60 kingpin crossover steering setup ensures that your drag link and track bar remain as parallel as possible, giving you precise control whether you are crawling over boulders or driving to the trailhead. Breaking Down the East West Offroad Dana 60 Kit If you want a steering system that will not leave you stranded, the East West Offroad Dana 60 kit delivers on all fronts. Engineered for ALL Dana 60 Kingpin axles, this complete package provides fabricators with the ultimate foundation for a bulletproof front end. Unyielding Strength: 1.25 Inch Thick Dana 60 Arms The knuckles bear immense force when turning large tires against obstacles. That is why this Dana 60 tie rod kit features massive 1.25 inch thick Dana 60 arms. Machined from high-quality domestic block steel, these billet Dana 60 steering arms are practically indestructible compared to standard cast variants, keeping your steering linkages perfectly aligned under extreme stress. Versatile 5 Hole Dana 60 Steering Arms Whether you have stock knuckles or upgraded aftermarket ones, this Dana 60 steering kit adapts to your needs. It utilizes a 5 hole Dana 60 steering arms pattern, making them fully Reid compatible Dana 60 arms. If you are running standard 4-hole knuckles, the installation remains simple—you just bolt them up using four holes and leave the fifth one open. Heavy-Duty Components for the Ultimate Build A heavy-duty axle requires heavy-duty joints. This package serves as a complete GM 1 ton steering kit upgrade for your front end. It is packed with massive 1-ton components to handle 40+ inch tires without breaking a sweat, including: The renowned ES2026R drag link kit components A heavy-duty ES2027L drag link end Thick ES2234L ES2234R tie rod ends for maximum durability To accommodate custom suspension widths, this setup is designed as a Dana 60 high steer without DOM tubes. Builders can source their own steel tubing locally, cut it to the exact required length, and easily weld in the included left and right 7/8-18 weld bungs and jam nuts. The Benefits of a Springless Dana 60 High Steer System Factory kingpins use a plastic cone and spring that quickly crush and wear out under the leverage of heavy off-road tires. The included Dana 60 bronze bushing high steer kit eliminates this flaw. By converting to a springless Dana 60 high steer setup, the nylon is replaced with a solid bronze bushing and a threaded set screw. This Dana 60 kingpin high steer upgrade allows you to set the exact preload on your knuckles, permanently eliminating steering slop. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Why is this kit sold as a Dana 60 high steer without DOM tubes? Because off-road rigs have highly customized suspension lifts and axle widths, pre-cut tubes rarely fit perfectly. Selling this as a Dana 60 high steer without DOM tubes allows you to cut your own tubing to the exact length your specific rig requires, utilizing the provided 7/8-18 weld bungs and jam nuts for a custom fit. Will the GM 1 ton steering kit components fit my axle? Yes! The heavy-duty 1-ton tie rod ends (specifically the ES2234L ES2234R tie rod ends and the ES2027L drag link end) thread perfectly into the weld bungs. Once you weld the bungs into your DOM tubing, these massive joints connect your knuckles and pitman arm securely. What is the advantage of 1.25 inch thick Dana 60 arms? When you wedge a 40-inch tire between two rocks and turn the steering wheel, the sheer force can easily shear or bend thin metal. 1.25 inch thick Dana 60 arms made from billet steel ensure that the arms will not flex, bend, or snap under extreme trail pressure. Does the springless Dana 60 high steer conversion ride harshly? No, it actually improves the ride by eliminating the "death wobble" and wandering associated with worn-out factory kingpin springs. The springless Dana 60 high steer design with a bronze bushing creates a tight, precise pivot point that dramatically improves steering feel and feedback.
