To use the inserts and stock type steering, you would need a postal RHD XJ drag link to be able to flip it. The stock LAD link won't work.

 

Im sorry but can you explain RHD and LAD. And where can I get what I need. Thanx

 

Right hand drive/ left hand drive. I screwed up on the initials. Most parts stores can get the RHD parts.

 

Do you think it's worth the trouble or should I get aftermarket HD steering. Looks like i could get it for a little over 200$

 

Depends on how high you're going. It would defiantly be a plus. If you go over the knuckle, you would also need to relocate the track bar to over the axle.

 

Ok let me ask this. If you had 8" of lift. What is the best steering set up and track bar set up without spending a million dollars. I want to do it right but I have three kids a wife and fireman's pay. Ha ha you know what I mean. Thanx

 

Defiantly over the knuckle.

A track bar mount.

The track bar itself would be a custom to go with the length you need.

 

I can't thank you enough for that link. That's exactly what I am going to go with. This forum is so much help and for the ones that are new at this people like you guys are priceless. Thanx for your patience and time.

 

drop pitman arm and trac bar relocation bracket with grand cherokee drag link cheapest route i ran this 5 years with no issues at 7 inchs lift should work for eight im at eleven with ORO U-Turn steering little costly but direct bolt on no fab required well wort the cost to me jm2cw

 

That would be nice but I still need to use it as a DD for another year or so.

 

i dd mine both ways

 

To be honest I'll have to look in to it a little further. I saw the ORO and so I looked it up and it said off road only so I assumed you couldn't use it on the road. I'll check it out and see what it's all about. Thanx

 

Why do they say this is for ORO. Does it handle fine at high speeds. Is this better than a OTK kit with the HD steering tie rod and drag link. Thanx again.

 

ORO is only the company namei liked it because of the angles on the drag link it being bent allows for less tie rod end angles with higher lifts this is heavy duty steering system

 

see the angle my tres are at its the same at the axle side where a straighr drag link would be a much greater angle
