Default High stear ???

I never heard of a high stear before and heard I would need it to make my lift work right. Wat all is involved in doing this and what does it do for me.

there are a couple different ways to do it. basically when you get higher in the lifts, the stock steering angles start to suck. "high steer" is a way to lessen the angles and also a way to strengthen the steering. im on 6.5" and here is what i did. its the JCR Offroad over the knuckle kit.

Thanks for the picture that helps alot.I guess what im doing is more than just a lift, its a full on build and im using a d-44 out of a waggy that already has that setup.Guess I got lucky there.

Higher knuckles? Do you mean a high steer knuckle?

It's not required for a high steer set up.

stock steering is fine on a stock jeep. flex comes from the suspension components.
