lol, gotta appreciate the craftsmanship of what i'm assuming are advance auto/autozone shackles with welded plates to extend them longer.

Ok I want my trims working properly. This thing is in default mode!
Going through parts of harnesses I've saved and none of these will fit unless I grind a tab off so it locks in.
Otherwise it runs pretty stable after fixing all the big vacuum leaks.

CavFab high steer showed up.
This is probably the heaviest high steer set up I've ever bought. I was pretty good for bending steering links on the XJ. This maybe what I'll need lol

Wow that does look really nice that just might be what I'm ordering next I have been told to be skeptical on those heim joints but I don't know the more and more I see folks running them I think it is fine.

I have the kit and love it, but man does it eat heim joints. The way it's design the heims are constantly a little bound up. I've set it up, taken it to a professional an had it set up, had friends try setting it up, but I always seem to eat heims

We'll see. Was thinking maybe if I tighten the jam nuts at a certain angle they maybe alright.

See that is what I was afraid of buying it and then going through heim joints. Can you not just put TRE on them?

Not with the way the passenger side knuckle is set up. You have a bolt go through a heim, then knuckle, and then the next heim in a stack and there would be no way to do that with the tre

Yea I've been thinking about it and googling pics of the set up. I'm just like.. well.. **** the way the weight of the bar is off center there might not be a way to fix it. Together they weigh 35lbs.
This maybe my challenge lol

I don't have the bend in my drag link with Cavfab and I've been on the same Heims no issues at all over about 2 years now.
