Not to sure of the question but i think you are asking about the Drag Link?

 

Well My opinion is to stay away from the rugged ridge set up. one and only reason i can give you to stay away from it is, Look at Rugged Ridge's web site. you will see they removed it from their site. hum problems? i think i learned the hard expensive way. I hate to see any one here learn the same way. the only place you will find it is on 2nd party sites/ stores that bought a stock of them and are now giving them away at almost cost. i paid almost 300 for mine. there is no reason for somthing that cost that much to have to add poly spacers for it to work properly and every 2 months have to replace the spacers.

 

That's the info I needed. Must be why I found couple them for $200. I'll just keep saving money. No bump steer or roll issues with IRON ROCK? I'm curious about longevity of the ends. Thanks again GAZOO.

 

My rugged ridge setup was $234 and yes off eBay. But when stock won't survive and you can't afford Iron Rock, it works for the time being. Just expect the tie rod roll and bump steer, but it will take abuse over stock.

 

How would you compare the ride to stock steering?

 

Less play then stock, better tie rod ends. But I have an 8" lift, so with an 6" or less lift, it will be better. My trac bar is also at the wrong angle, so that doesn't help. My steering stabilizer is too weak also. But with all this, I can still drive it and it wheels great.

 

Yeah but with the "Tierod Roll" your steering wheel moves about an 1/8th of a turn when the tierod moves up and down, that ends up as play in the steering thats why someone made the poly spacer bushings to take up most of the play. when you get an wheel alignment it is impossible the get the wheel stright there is a 1/8 turn dead space from left to right. this results in bumb steer or a slight wonder on the road. for a off road use only vehicle this would be ok, but for street use i think it sucks.

 

Well if anyone wants to buy my old rugged ridge setup for a backup or to try, i will let it go for 100 you pay the shipping. it is only about 7-8 months old maybe 500 miles on it. i even got 2 new energy suspension polyurathane tierod end boots you can have with it cause the old ones ripped

 

Think I'll save up for the IRON ROCK. Need to replace my box first, it has play at the output shaft & leaks. That was after my last wheeling trip to dirty turtle off road park. My steering wheel moved 1/4 turn to the left also, among other damage. Work on it for months to wheel it for a day. The price I pay for rough play.

 

It's more impossible to align because of my lift height and the drag link being too short. It does suck driving on road but it is way better than stock. Most of my bumpsteer is due to my trac bar and unbalanced wheels. But that is the price you pay when you are poor.

 

The RR setup blows. Go with the IRO or the JCR setups.
