I've seen a few kits that use the factory steering hole and 2 or 3 of the hub bolts to attach a bracket which moves the steering up and puts it in double shear. I'm curious if anyone has tried these kit or has an opinion on them. I know that the stresses are changed and increased with the higher offset mounting of the steering, but I'm wondering what ya'll think. I'll find some picture or links to some for examples.

I personally am running the teraflex knuckle but from the looks of the pics that rocky road set up looks better than the sidewinder . there is also the option to run a wj knuckle on your xj

I've seen the wj swaps, but that would also require buying all new brake stuff, there's some spacer that's needed to get the u joint in the right place, either redrill the rotor or get 5x5 wheels, new ball joints, and I think that about covers the changes
