The more I see threads about rugged ridge with pics in them, it looks like thats what this steering is. And from other pics, they also appear to be bent? Guess they are made like that?

Yes that is a rugged ridge and it is supposed to be bent that way. I'm running the same steering and it is made that way to clear the front diff cover.

That looks bent to me. Our steering comes with Chromoly heat and cryo treated heims that have a 7/8" shank and SOLID 1-1/4" hex steel links. They wont bend even when driving the tie rod strait into a tree stump at 15 MPH. Not that I doing recommend that, it doesnt feel very nice. lol
With a Crossover kit like we make; you wont experience any dead spots or tie rod roll. The Drag link connects direct from the pitman arm to the passenger knuckle to give you the tightest steering possible.
