I am preparing to install a fj60 axle in the front of my 40. Ordered up U-bolts and some brackets. My current setup is a 40 housing with 60 knuckles and steering arms. I also have saginaw power steering. I still have the 40 tie rod but put sleeves on the 60 arms to fit the 40 tre's. The relay rod is an old one from downey I think. I am going to install the 4plus housing spacer to make the 60 housing 2 5/8" wider because I want the additional stability, and I really think with 35's or larger it just looks right on a 40 having the extra width. Plus not rolling the truck will save the nice sheet metal and paint. My question right now is in regards to steering. I don't want to spend 500bucks on the steering right now because I still have to install a rear axle and I might do a link suspension and an extra 500 would kill that project.
Do I use a FJ60 tie rod and ends and just sleeve it to make up for the width? If so what can I use for a relay rod and rod ends to go to the saginaw?
Or do I use the 40 steering I have now and just sleeve that and my current relay rod?
