Steer Racks

I have been contemplating some changes in the front part of my chassis and was wondering what steer racks you gents were using. I am thinking from a mounting standpoint I will need a rack that clamps around the main tube, and not one with fixed mounts on the casting so that I can change rotational angle and mount higher without creating new mounts. Also making it easier to raise or lower a bit to resolve bumpsteer. Shaft size isn't a problem, but I would like a pretty quick rack, approx 2 1/2 to 3 turns. Inner tie rod pivots approx 28". Did a search but haven't found the particular info I need. I am sure there is some good info out there.
Thanks
Phil
