Figured this belonged in the newb section.
I haven't kept up with "best practices" on steering correction on non-crossover steer vehicles. I'm sure there's plenty of opinions on this but I'd like to see if there's a consensus. Wanting to go the best way on my budget '90 sub, but think this may be beneficial to all.
Options for steering correction regardless of lift height:
For argument sake lets say the examples are:

Options for steering correction regardless of lift height:
- Drop Pitman Arm (con, stress on steering box, pitman shaft and bearings)
- Raised steering arm, cast 1-piece (con, stress on studs)
- Offset Drag Link (con... dunno, but don't figure it's too robust)
- Raised steering arm, block (con... Extended studs in single shear???? I can't imagine how 'well' it would hold up off-road)
For argument sake lets say the examples are:
- 1/2T or 3/4T Squarebody Chevy, 3 to 4" lift, 33-37" tires
- 1/2T or 3/4T Squarebody Chevy, 5 to 6" lift, 35-40" tires
- 1/2T or 3/4T Squarebody Chevy, 8 to 12" lift, 38-44" tires (at this point I'd say you're a fool to not go crossover, but here it is)
