10" lift steering and track bar help
Trying to track down a few problems
1.my track bar is shot and need input on what to do next... build a new one or buy one for 8+ inches of lift 2. My steering is all over the road....everything is brand new steering wise drag link,pitman arm is super dropped,tie rod ends and new heavy duty stableizer thinking I might have to go with high steer to get a better angle Any help is greatly appreciated thanks |
Trade for a "Swamp Buggy" ??? 8>)
Don't know most don't quite that high with a lift, what size tires are you running 38, 40's? I guess you have at least I ton steering don't you, IDK so will shut up and refer to a crawler for info. I'm lost here more info would help on what pieces you are using in the steering now. |

And brand new "stock" drag link with rough country stabilizer and beefed up track bar with 35" mud tires This is with 36" tsl super swampers 10 inch lift |
If you cut the fenders you can lower it do to 6 inches and have a lot less problems.

^ That for starters^
Lowering it at least much will help you a lot in steering, MPG's and general driving with roll over chances. Then at the "Very Least a tie rod setup from a mid 90's V-8 GC much stronger than stock, direct bolt-in and under a $100 at AutoZone. Or a 1 ton setup but a lot more money. Are you running 4.56 or 4.88 gears in it now to turn those tires with lockers in both? I think you have the same bumper that I have on mine. Attachment 312968 |

Christ on a cracker, did you buy it with the steering that jacked up. Either you lower her to a more acceptable range or you go with 1 ton OTK steering. There should be nothing stock steering on a jeep lifted like that

Wow!
That's... scary. You drive this thing? 1. Your steering needs a serious makeover. 2. Your caster angle is way off and is most likely the largest contributing factor to the wandering. Not to mention the bald tires, insane steering angles and height to width ratio. |
