Their webpage says 5.5" only need the 4" drop draglink for steering correction, while ORD says I'll want crossover for anything over 4". I'm sure crossover is much better, but just can't afford it right now. Hoping I can get by with the drop draglink for now and upgrade later.
Most steering correction arms that I have seen are labeled 4-6 inch lift. Reason being, you can add 2" lift springs and use your stock stuff - just lengthe by unscrewing tie rods a bit. So if the stock will work with 2" + the 4" correction arm = 6 inch lift is ok. I ran this and did just fine. The reason I went to crossover was treying to turn the 39.5x16 TSL's was difficult on the steering system. Crossover allows better geometry of the steering parts and thus is easier on the steering system (but more difficult on the frame - so get the frame strengtheners when you eventually go to the crossover system.)
ORD says to get the crossover because... they want to sell their stuff! Now, I do agree that the crossover is better, just not absolutely necessary. I wheeled the Blazer for 2 years with the steering correction arm and other than stressing the PS system, it was fine.
If they cancel your order due to shipping, let me know before you re-order because I want to make a shackle flip kit as well.
