Add $35 for custom TRE Taper. 60 Series/80 Series or Chevy 1-Ton available reaming available. We are unfortunately not able to ream them to fit the 40 or 55 Series tie rod ends as the starting holes are just too large. Customer is responsible to measure required pitman drop need. Our recommendation is to temporarily mock up the steering gearbox and then decide what drop arm is ideally needed. The goal is to have the drag link be as near parallel to the tie rod without creating interference with the leaf springs, tie rod on full up-travel, etc.

Installation Instructions (Rough Draft)

Step 1: Remove Existing Parts
Remove stock drag-link and relay rod's completely from the vehicle. You will be re-using the stock passenger side drag-ling end so take care not to damage the end.
Remove the stock steering damper from the center are and the frame side mount
Remove the center arm assembly, no part of this will be re-used.
Remove the stock steering box and mount from the frame, this will require grinding or torch cutting the rivets that attach it to the frame. Clean up and paint the frame following removal.

Step 2: Remove the Stock Steering Column
Remove the two bolts and rubber mount at the dash panel. Remove the 6 bolts at the firewall on early models and the 3 bolts on later model Land Cruisers.

Install Column Bearing or bushing

Rough assemble steering shaft kit, leaving keyed steering shaft long. Temporarily fit standard yoke to bottom of stock column.

Assemble box plate spacers to match box

locate center of cross member tube insert, drill frame using hole saw, tack cross member tube into place. Tack box plate to frame.

Test fit components.

Measure and cut keyed steering shaft for ~3" engagement in 4" slip joint assembly. Add key way to end of keyed steering shaft. Test steering in both directions, inspect for binding or clearance issues.
