What size tires you got?
It is an upgrade..but if your stock box isnt whining, and your not running 33s+ I wouldnt worry about it.

My stock box turns my 35s fine.

You could go to zj steering at the least..
Wouldnt really feel any difference, but that stock tie rod is garbage.

It's an upgrade, I don't need it with 10.5 inch wide tires, but I don't want to tap new threads I my stock box, and if your changing to a new box, you might as well go to the Durango box. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get zj steering too.

The steering damper goes on the drag link, all you should use from the zj is the tie rod, unless I'm mistaken.

Sure you don't have a drag link?

The zj tie rod has 1 end built on, one that threads on with the adjuster sleeve.

No tcase bracketry. Output shaft in trannyand would have a tail housing with a slip yoke where as a 4x4 bolts to a tcase. Be a longer dshaft too, fer ne one that dont wanna sye, it still produces horrible angles on the driveline but wouldn't slip out!!!

Anybody know a good 4wd shop that does alignments around lafayette or summerville? I'm tired of dealing with this local place, they dont even know how to align a jeep.
