Its just a flip insert, I would recommend upgrading your steering before doing that.

That is not a High Steer kit, it is a Tierod flip. First, like Kyle said, do a steering upgrade like the ZJ tierod. If you have a 97+ cherokee then there is no need to upgrade the draglink because they are the same. I plan on running the ZJ tierod, which is made from solid bar rather than a hollow one, and running the tierod flip on the drivers side for a while to see how that works. I'm going to be running 35's so it will be a must to upgrade steering.

If you decide to buy those parts that 99xjlove suggests then we have a vendor Gerr who has great prices. Just so you know he is a regular on here and NAXJA.

Raises it up a little further from those destructive things like rocks and tree stumps. Most people combine the flip with an upgrade to a solid or thicker walled tube to add some rigidity to the tie rod and drag link.
