Rugged Ridge Cross-over Steering Conversion
I don't know if this is the "proper" place for this, but I just wanted to share a good deal on this with everyone. This thing is beefy as heck and a breeze to install. I got it for $228.00 shipped, which was as cheap as I could find.

The pic in their ad is wrong, but you will get the correct kit. Here it is installed on my XJ.

I love it. It's very strong. It did just bolt right in, just take your measurements before removing the old stuff for alignment's sake. Yes, it does come with bracketry to install a dampener. Min was shot, so I didn't bother installing it.

Do you have any clearance issues between the drag link and the TB mount when you turn full lock to passenger? And the diff cover when turn full lock driver??? I have one just like this, and I have major clearance issues.

I don't know what you mean by dead spot, but mine seems fine to me. Maybe I just don't notice it. As far the full lock goes, my issue is the TRE hitting the wheel at full lock on a left turn. I've already test fitted my new wheels and this will no longer be an issue. At full lock to the right, it barely touches the stabilizer bracket mounting bolt, but a cap head bolt will resolve that. Even still, I could just work with the steering stop bolts to limit the travel and be done with it.
