Default Stock high steer?

Ok today while servicing a 99 Grand Cherokee. This caught my eye and it looks like what I need to correct my problem with the drag link being at such a extreme angle. What do you guys think? Will it work? everything looks the same like it should just bolt on to the d30 I have (for now) and I could just put the tie rods on top instead of underneath with some work to make the cone seat. if it's a good upgrade then I'll get one from a JY. Thanks guys

yup, then if you can get the other side knuckle from a right hand drive wj from over seas, you can have true high steer, so to speak.

Yep, did that swap on my buddies TJ, works great. Gets rid of that stupid split Y steering setup that changes the toe when the suspension cycles
