You need a crossover steering set up at that height. Do a WJ swap.

Ok. Sounds about the same as the one I had. (Avatar. 8'' LA on 35's.)
I had a Rusty's Steering kit. It was beefy too. Took a beating and never let me down.

An over the knuckle kit like Serious recommended would be great. I would skip an under the knuckle one like the Rusty's with that height. I have an iro otk that I haven't installed yet that looks very nice. It should allow use of the stock Trac bar location rather than relocating it like the serious kit. I don't weld so I went with the iro kit. It is pretty much bolt on.
