I have a 99 XJ with about 9" of lift on 35's. I just had the trackbar relocated to on top of the axle. Attempting to fix bump steer. It's bad. But bumpsteer is still here. Will otk steering fix this? Or what can I do to fix this scenario before I give up on the jeep?

Jesus.

Yes, OTK steering will help you.

Good golly. Yes.

My first thought exactly. As an X4, you definitely need new steering.

wow is that IRO? that kit will do nothing to help your steering angles or fix your bump steer

your drag link angle needs to match your track bar angle. and they need to be as close to the same length as possible. hope it's not too late to return that junk

what you needed to do was buy and assemble a "crossover" steering kit from ruffstuff

Needs the 3/4 kit on stock knuckles, right?

You want something like this (see picture). Look into the WJ Conversion. Better brakes, crossover steering, OTK tie rod.

Atmos

you can't drill out for 7/8? good catch if not. guess the 3/4 kit is plenty strong anywhay

Why is that kit junk?

I gotta ask why a 9 inch lift for 35s ?

Atmos

because it came from IRO. and also the fact that they put the tie rod OTK then crossed the drag link UTK just bothers my internet senses. lol

Curious about this too? And why no bumpstops?

It's not. The drag link goes to the bottom of the knuckle to put it lower so you can keep the stuck trac bar location on the axle. You don't need to relocate it over the axle. I have had the IRO kit on the rig that gets daily driven for about a year now and really like it. There are better options out there like the ruff stuff if you can weld. But the IRO kit is pretty good if you need something to just bolt on.
