Wouldn't it be easier to buy a kit designed for a third gen from a vendor such as Spohn. That way you know it will fit and work properly. A steering rack isn't a simple bolt on. I'm not even sure if the mounting brackets can be easily welded to the stock k-member. It's much easier to do with a tubular k-member.
