So what's everyone's opinions and experiences with heim joint steering like IRO's vs. 1 ton tre's like serious offroads?

 

I prefer heims. I feel they are tighter and more responsive then tie rod ends. As long as they are quality they will outlast the tie rod ends when being abused offroad. You see my pics in the other steering thread?

 

Yeah I did. They look pretty nice man. I like your set up, I just don't know how I feel about moving my track bar.

 

I got an IRO kit waiting to go in. Its crazy stout. Down right heavy. I too feel like heim joints will be a bit less sloppy. I also went that route because it doesn't require relocating track bar and sway bar links.

 

That's why I was looking at them or serious. I don't wanna pay 350-400 for the steering, then another 200 to relocate the track bar

 

Also I didn't have to ream the knuckles and pitman arm just drill them. If you get IRO get the 5/8 bolts. Its just $20 more and you have to drill but its seems a lot better idea then having empty space in the mounting points. Get their track bar too. Lol

 

I already have their track bar and its a beast!! I would deff get the 5/8" hardware. Thanks for the input!

 

You don't HAVE to relocate the track bar with any of these setups mentioned. It is just recommended for superior handling on any jeep lifted 4.5" or more.

 

Haha true and I'll be at 6.5" of lift. Was at 4" with no sway bars and don't know for sure if I'm gonna put them back on. Didn't want to mess with relocating after the fact.

Just curious, how much is your kit?

 

My steering goes for 325. My track bar and relocation brackets go for 250. I could probably make you a package deal if you wanted the track bar too.
