Lets say I want to stick with IFS (I know, sound stupid but don't have the means or money to sas). Is there a way to use the astro steering box to gain strength (if so what one do I need and what pitman) and can I run that with the 1 ton Idler from synergy offroad? Im getting ready to order the new bilsteins and the idler kit and am curious about the steering box conversion. Ive heard it helps

 

The astro box won't work with ifs. It's also not any stronger than the factory box. It's used for SAS swaps because it had a forward swing rather than the reverse swing of the factory box. You're on the right track with the one ton idler upgrade tho!

 

Have you done the idler swap?

 

I don't have an idler arm anymore but I have seen many that have done it with good results!

 

Is there anything I can upgrade the steering box with fairly simple?
