I have the Currie setup on my jeep. works of course and is super beefy over stock. tie rod ends are 2 time the size and the bars look like they are off a semi truck.
*I needed new rod ends so i figured i upgrade

I would go with a over the top style steering upgrade if you don't mind spending some money. For the long arms the r.e. Are a good way to go for a y link setup.

i like claytons design the best.
i had the R.E. 5.5 extreme duty short arm lift on my jeep, and their longarm upgrade would have been a direct fit, but decided to go with claytons design.
but R.E. is a good choice, pricey tho.
others are BDS and Rusty's. but i don't care for bolt in, myself.

RE = rubicon express.
id get full traction, BDS, or treks (tnt) for LAs. for steering, the best option by far is the WJ crossover conversion. currie setup is nice (but $$), and 1-ton setups can leave you without steering feel and can dead spot if the angles are steep.

was just at the junkyard today looking for wj steering for a buddies zj.
you need both outer knuckles complete with calipers and everything in between (tie rods, center link) and the drag link and tie rod end up to the pitman arm.
here, everything complete was quoted 130 bux if i remove it.
