I didn't say I had any problems and not looking to fix any. I have run without in the past, but without you will still feel every tiny bump in the road which I don't like.

Thanks for the orders guys, response to the release of these kits has been amazing! Keep the orders coming, and we'll keep building and shipping them. If you've already placed your order, you will have your tracking info as soon as i can update them all. They are rolling out of the door daily this week!

No, UTK the geometry is still right on to keep your track bar in the stock location. I'll get an UTK installed pic as soon as i get one in the shop. I can't keep these in stock long enough to get a Jeep in house to do an install!

I highly doubt it as the lengths of the tie rod/drag link are most likely different

Unfortunate and the reason why I am not running this setup.

So I really love this steering so much. Got it installed today. Only issue I had was the passenger side swaybar mount on the axle was getting in the way. Besides removing that I'm very impressed with this product and your company.

Without being able to measure the distance needed for the tie rod and drag link on a WJ knuckle conversion we cannot just say our kit will work since it is designed for stock XJ knuckles.

If someone would like to provide measurements of a WJ knuckle setup we would be happy to make WJ knuckle compatible kits
