I not really sure why you keep making your post a poll, but all Crossover steeering setups use a 4x2 box.  Not really sure what you mean about the last part though.

here is a crossover steering tech article.

No problem, I just noticed you made a bunch of poll and then didn't poll anything.  You want to hit the New Topic Tab to the left of the Post new Poll tab.
BTW, typing in CAPS on the internet is yelling.

www.offroaddesign.com you have to have a 2wd box for sure, a flat top knuckle for the d44/10bolt and a steering arm to name a few. i used heim joints on both ends and did a full crossover/high steer. its spendy but works great for big lifts/extreme offroad. a 2wd box out of 70's-80's camaros with the #76 on the side is the best GM box you Can get anywhere. it is the strongest and quickest ratio out there. offroaddesign offers about every piece to complete this kit short of knuckle machining but you can get this stuff in wrecking yards. look for early 70's Chevy/jeep d44's for the flat top knuckle and the camaro #76 box and for a pitman arm you can use(for big lifts) a 90's era jeep Cherokee pitman arm, this stock pitman arm is 4" drop arm for a Chevy. if you have the tools it is a great setup for hard core wheelin.
