Steering Upgrade?
I bought my cherokee already lifted. My tie rod bushings are starting to go, so i figure now would be a good time to put on an upgrade. I have run across all of these different options, as far as wj swaps, and different types of tie rod ends...and to put it simply. im lost. What do you all recommend for a steering upgrade from stock? Its got a 6.5" lift, 33" tires, and there is a steering stabilizer on it currently..TIA

Cavfab steering if you want to keep your swaybars. I'm running ballistic 3/4 heim kit and couldn't be happier. You can do a zj swap, which is a direct bolt on swap, but kinda weak for 33s and on that much lift, it will give you some funky steering angles

You need to drill your knuckles and pitmannarm to accommodate the new bigger bolt. I drive my jeep every day, and have had no issues. I installed it in December, so it hasn't been on that long. And I had to cut off my swaybars brackets so the drag link would clear. That's why Cavfab makes pre bent steering
