good call on the gear install. I usually have someone do mine. I would freak if i installed gears and had to listen to a howl from the diff. Actually I had it done in my Camaro, not the Jeep i have now but still......

I guess your referring to the ratio, i went with 4.56s.
The tie rod is a solid v8 zj rod and drag link is stock. No real need at this point to upgrade the steering until it proves weak.
Did upgrade my trac bar heim joint yesterday to a chromoly heim with kevlar race.
