    I am in the process of installing the front Dana 44 I had cut down. The original front 27 has the 2-1 tie rod/drag link. The guy who built my axle wasn't paying attention and just gave me a straight across tie rod. I do have flat top knuckles. Can I buy a passenger side high steer arm and just run a drag link to my power steering box? Or, do I need to get driver and passenger high steer arms and run everything high steer? Or, should I just have the guy make me a different tie rod that has the drag link too?

    :)

    How much lift do you have? Spring over or spring under?

    The high steer arm on the passenger side and a new drag link would probably be easiest, but you may not have clearance for it. If you don't think the drag link will contact the frame when your passenger front tire is pushed all the way up, I'd go that route. Good luck!
