The best steering setup for a DD
I know we could go round and round on this topic but I'd just like some other opinions on it. I've got a '91 XJ with 4 inches of lift and will eventually be around 5.5 inches on long arms. I don't plan on running bigger than a 33 but I suppose 35s are always a possibility. I daily drive my rig and I'm looking to upgrade my sloppy steering. I'm a weekend warrior and I don't see many rocks, but I would like to take this rig to the Rubicon eventually. So what's the best kit? An inverted T setup with tierod ends like the Serious Kit? Or maybe IRO's OTK heim steering setup? Some say the inverted T creates too much tierod roll, and others say heim joints on a DD is a bad idea (I live in Idaho so inspection is not an issue.) I would like to stay away from an OTK setup which requires me to cut up my JKS track bar. Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help.

I'm running heim joints on my steering and I drive mine daily. I have zero bump steer and zero death wobble. I did have to modify my swaybar mounts, but I was able to leave my track bar right where it was at
