Default High steer options..

I'm trying to figure out which product is the best deal and best quality for a high steer conversion... is IRO a good set up? And I will never buy another rustys component again.... so is there any people that makes these magical conversions that I do not know about???

high steer? do you mean over the knuckle? JCR carries OTK kits as well. but looking at the pics, you'll have to raise or re locate the axle side track bar mount. high steer is completely different and will requie a knuckle swap or high steer arms

the only "magical" steering upgrade will be WJ knuckles

We make an over the knuckle crossover steering kit you might be interested in. http://froehlichsuspension.3dcartsto...teer_p_11.html
When paired with our over the axle track bar kit I have had customers say they their jeep handles better then stock.

Let me know of you have any questions.

Most guys opt for a UTK kit because of the additional cost involved in going to an OTK set-up.

I've got both available and can install them for you too.

Yeah I'm digging that OTK crossover but might need to save up since I just lost that damn D35 again, going to upgrade to a 8.8. I'm getting tired if blowing 35's up lol so ittl be a few days until I can get the new steering, but thanks guys for the ideas

Rocky Road makes a true high steer setup that is a bolt on for the Dana 30 (will need to drill and tap lots of holes though). I used to run it on my Cherokee and liked it.

You need to be careful with Frooehlich's steering as many states do not allow heim joints in the steering setup (NJ being one of them...).

I would never run that mess.

also heard a couple horror stories about it, thier website has a bunch of bogus claims knocking other companies proven products, and I had a less than favorable experience dealing with them back in the day.
