so the drag link on my rig is shot, so i was wondering what i should do to upgrade it. some things i was thinking of are, just replace it with a oem one, and upgrade the tie rode to a ZJ one, or upgrade both the drag and tie rode with something after market. anyone have any suggestions? im not looking for 1 ton steer or OTK, and the only thing i have really seen that doesnt require reaming and rustys steering conversion http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=ste but i really dont have that much to spend. so any suggestions?

Any body?

Reaming is not required. I did ream when I put on my 1-ton OTK kit from JCR but that was because I didn't know about the inserts you can use. I believe you drill a 7/8" hole and use said inserts either OTK or UTK. There is a vendor on here that sells it all for a descent price, I just don't remember who it was.

Frankz sells them, its that rustys kit any good or should I look into a otk or somthing like that, or again should I go with a stock drag link and zj tie rod? Again I dont have a ton of cash to work with.

There are good and bad reviews for every kit out there. What worked for one person was total crap for another. I found out that this is something you have to just decide on with the info at hand and jump on it without second guessing yourself. I'm satisfied with my OTK setup.

There's a link in the Vendor Forum....

I really would like to go with the rustys kit, but I dont really have that much right now, I think I might go with a stock draglink, and zj tie rod, iv read good things about the zj tierod swap

i have the rustys setup on my 88 it only gets driven offroad and i beat it todeath and i havent had any issues with it. its sturdy holds up well and takes a beatin!

If you are buying NEW. I recommend ironman4x4fab tie rod
, cost is similar to a ZJ tie rod. stock replacement draglink should do fine.

My ZJ tie rod has taken a couple good hits against rocks before and no bends yet.
