I've been sitting on this question for like two years now. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything but I'm fairly confident I'll be using the RuffStuff kit with the outside frame side bracket. I want to try to mount it in front of the coils as much as I can without interfering with anything. I want to pair this with the GM crossover TRE kit.

I'm still constantly researching this. I don't want to pull the trigger right away just yet. I'm not 100% convinced that you HAVE to run an OTA track bar with OTK steering. As long as you can get the drag link and track bar to run parallel or damn close, it should work.

Mine is about as low as I think you can run it. I had to modify the IRO track bar mount, dropping it about an inch. The angles are almost perfect, and the lengths are within an inch of one another. DD it every day without issue.

I plan to run mine over the knuckle with the drag link under the knuckle. With an adjustable track bar going to the stock amount they should almost be at the same angle

@ Jeepin'

I run the Serious OTK steering, with a JKS TB. When I did mine, I got the RE frame side mount and a JKS axle side mount. Needed to weld the axle side, but no big. I got a JKS adjustable TB kit, meaning I had to figure out everything in advance for cutting, welding the JJ to the TB, welding the mount to the axle, but so far, all is good. Any questions, PM me.

Looks good and results don't lie.
