Default JCR over or under the knuckle?

So i blasted my steering box, and bent the less than great steering linkage almost in half...im going durango box for sure, but im not sure if i want a over the knuckle setup. Im looking to find someone who has installed this steering, either over or under the knuckle who could clear up some questions...thanks guys

well going off of your sig, you have 5.5" of lift. so i would do OTK. but you would also then need to remount the trackbar above the axle. and dont think the JCR stuff isnt going to bend, my tie rod has a frown.

Any better options? With the relocate, is it just a move to the top of the tube, and re welding? Im assuming you have this setup?

i love my steering/trackbar setup. it was my own dumb fault for bending it. and yes i do. i had to make a new trackbar and reweld a new mount on the axle. JCR sells the mounts though. they could probably make you a trackbar as well.

here is mine..
