seams like a lot of stuff for not a lot of gain. With that kit it seams as though you would be adding a LOT of one off fail points and things to brake...
If you go to OTK steering and raise it " your said 3" " and are hitting it on things YOUR PICKING A BAD LINE. no 2 ways about it. the stock steering isn't horrible for the clearence, its the design....
Just seams like a TON of work and parts to do somthing that is not worth the "gain". I would go with either FrankZ's setup of JCR's....

yeah, if youre hitting stuff with a normal OTK kit then you would be bashing your axle into it with this setup anyway. I guess it just depends on which you would prefer to destroy first

There are other performance parts that are less expensive and give you much more capability off road. I can go just as many places and turn just as many times with my old stock zj tie rod and stock drag link!

That would be me..... I can't see it binding as I don't think they would sell it like that. I would imagine the castor needs to be dialed in.

does it really need to be that high above the diff? i mean just a few inches should do i would imagine. enough for rocks to hit the diff and axle housing BEFORE the tie rod. Frank Z and JCRs kits achieve this
