What options are there for steering boxes/pitman arms for high steer setups and front stretch?
 
Look up Jeep CJ with Durango Steering Box Snow Plow option. Lot's of information on it. It's what I put in my Jeep. Snow plow option has stronger gear. I had a drop pitman but it put my steering link to low for a high knuckle Dana 44 . 20180518_160525.jpg32712333_1720208788093526_2066621572868734976_n_1720208784760193.jpg
 
A lot depends on how far you want to go...what axle you running?

The two easiest options feature forward facing pitmans

A Scout II box is one option...mounts outside the frame (requires drilling/sleeving):

Astro van box is the other...bolts up to existing holes:

The latter requires a minimum of 7-8" stretch to pull it off

If you're going with a 60, WFO makes a pair of high steer arms that run the tie rod to the rear if that's room you need to acquire

I have a ford HP Dana 44 .

Currently running the MORE relocation plate and an Astro pitman arm. I have about 3” of front stretch.

I’m thinking of going to hydro assist as well.
