Are we really at the mercy of BMR's 600 dollar conversion kit or have you guys found a cheaper option? Why does BMR kit look like just a dressed up pinto rack? Help me out here my brothers. I am taking my power steering out and want to throw in a manual rack but damn 600 I think i'll keep my power steering.

All of the different brand manual steering kits are on the pricey side and that is more or less because of the components that come with it rather than the pinto style rack that used. Every pinto style rack we sell in our kits are modified to correct for bump steer so they are different from the pinto style rack you would buy from directly from Flaming River. For us to make a manual steering kit that is 100% bolt-in we have to use certain parts that tend to make the kit a little more expensive but easier to install. After pricing out the rack plus the modifications to the rack, the complete bolt-in steering shaft including U-joints, the outer tie rods and adjusters, and all the hardware needed to mount everything the price is pretty reasonable. I can assure you that our kit is way more than dressed up pinto style manaul rack.

I am a huge fan of your products. My entire suspension, control arms, A-arms, sub frames, drive shaft loop, TH400 Cross member, etc etc etc is all BMR. I am about to spring for you K-Member and am going to a manual rack but damn I didn't think I was going to have to pay another 600 bucks to do so lol. Any sales coming up in the near future?

The manual racks we sell are just not some pinto rack off the shelf we actually modify them in-house to take care of this issue. We widen them and provide some bumpsteer adjustment so you shouldn't have any issue with the toe changing through the range of the front-end travel.
