Hey, can you give some insight or look at putting your steering otk. Cav can't answer the question but I'm at 4" BS like you but would want to go OTK if possible with their kit but don't want to grind or modify the wheels.

No huge updates. Ruff Stuff Stiffners are sitting in the shop waiting for a day to install. Ive got some pretty ballin headlights coming that should be here Saturday...These are a new product by a company I am partnering with...and I think the headlights will be a big hit for the XJ/MJ crowd (stay tuned for more info on these).

We also added a small pre runner style lean forward hoop the the front of the CavFab stubby bumper.

Why did you go high clearance steering after having the straight steering? Just being the guinea pig?
