Anyone thought of somehow adding that new rear wheel steering that the 2003 Denali's have? that would be too sweet

Yeah the rear wheel steering would require an insane amount of work. Im sure the rear wheel steering is computer controlled.
 






a lot of offroad buggies have rear wheel steering, its just using hydraulic rams and another front axle... like having 2 front axles on 1 truck....
 






I would think that on a vehicle that was not designed for it, it would take some cutting of the rear fenders and also the wheels would have to have less backspacing so there would not be spring or frame interferance. Also the steering linkage would need to be beefed for offroad use if using a stock GM rear steer axle.
 






You'd have to have a lot of lift or Perry's rear fenders to do it. Also like Brian said, it might not hold up to the way many of us wheel.
