That looks good, thanks for the pic. How come it cant be done on the stock knuckles? Wheel clearance? I would like to upgrade to wj knuckles and brakes eventually, but that might have to wait until spring.

because you cant machine the D30 knuckle for a high steer arm. you have to swap a knuckle on

this is the bolt-on knuckle that I was running with my D30 crossover setup http://www.teraflex.biz/high-steer-knuckle.html
crossover is amazing. but the brakes still sucked so WJ is the way to go

I am actually interested in this thread. I have a '92 with 4.5" lift and stock steeriing. I go wheelin up in Big Bear often and know that the steering needs to be stronger. I had the Rugged Ridge setup on my YJ.. but i sold it and got the XJ so i want to know whats the best set up to go with. I have seen a lot of different aftermarket setups so i want to know more about what works and what doesn't. I have considered Ruff Stuff, Serious Offroad, and Rusty's. I did notice on the Rugged Ridge that the TRE's blow out really fast.

Correct me if im wrong but are those sumo springs? If so are they worth the buy? I would think they work great but was curious what your input would be.

Sorry dude. Kylar's last activity was almost 6 years ago. And this is a 10 year old thread. I doubt they'll respond.
