72 blazer steering arm 8" lift?

anyone know which would be the best drop steering arm or method of correcting my steering on an 8" lift?

cross over steering is the only way to go and dosnt cost that much more to do if you have the origanl 72 axle in the blazer.
you will need the passenger side steering arm a 2wd steering box, a ford, jeep or manual pitman arm, and a new tirod to go from the passenger steering arm to the pitman arm.
you will then need to have the passenger side knuckle drilled to match the driver side so that you can put the steering arm on the passenger knuckle. you should be able to find some place local to do it but if not there is a guy in TN that sells the arms for a good price around 50 and if you send him the knuckle he will drill it out and put the arm on for you.
thats the hardest part after you get the drilled knuckle with the new steering arm just put the axle back togehter. Change you steering box to the 2wd box and hook up the new pitman arm and tirod.

thanks earl I will look into that. right now i just want to get it on the road. would just a drop arm work for now?

you may need to use both a raised steering arm and the drop pitman arm. It will work but you will have some bump steer and may not be able to turn lock to lock. If you wheel it and your suspention gets flexed out you will loose the ability to steer to. but for every day driving it should work.
