I have had luck with an air selection system. Utilizing the 1.25" cylinders for
engaging the axles from one steering setup to the other. This takes a lot of
room as you have to run both pinion shafts to each axle and have a cylinder
there to engage the desired steering mode. It is tricky to synchronize all of
the axles to the desired position--one at a time. I was able to get it to work
on a 3-axle mock-up vehicle, though found it easier to use air steering (since
all of the axles had a selector cylinder).
Best of luck!
