what tire size? how much lift? what kind of wheeling are you doing?
answer these questions, you need to, danielson.
best bolt on? ORO's u-turn setup. but you're gonna pay for it.

at 6.5" lift you need crossover.
JCR over the knuckle would be your cheapest option, you'll need to go over the axle with the trackbar as well.
other options are the ORO, and WJ knuckles+ steering

they only have 2 types of steering, 1 ton over the knuckle (otk) and 1 ton under the knuckle. right now im set up for under but im ready to go over when i get some time. ive got the passenger side rod end reamed for otk, the jcr sway bar link kit and my knuckles are drilled and sleeve with ballistic one ton inserts. all thats left to do is to cut an inch off the drag link, build a track bar and weld up my track bar bracket when im ready from the swap.

I ran Iron Rock's 5/8" rod end upgrade all last season on some pretty extreme trails. I didn't damage it all that I could tell which was way better than the WJ upgrade I had before.

Found this trhead by searching ...gonna dust it off. I ran into a guy w/ a TJ and a Rugged Ridge Crossover system he got on ebay. I found the link there and it said it could not be used w/ 6.5" lifts. Do I need one that's lift height specific?
