Which steering kit?
My XJ has developed a death wobble due to worn out TREs and drag link, and instead of replacing it with OEM stuff I feel it would be better to upgrade to something stronger.
My jeep has a 4.5" lift with 32" BFGs. It is a DD but sees wheeling every few weeks or so. I don't beat the **** out of it but I don't baby it either. I need something that is:
Safe and well-mannered on the highway
Strong on the trail
Relatively easy to install (reaming/drilling/welding is not really an option for me)
I like Iron Rock's OTK kit but it is a little pricey. Can anyone recommend else that is a little more affordable and meets my requirements?
Thanks

Rugged Ridge kit seems a viable option for your requirements. There are definitely preferred setups out there but considering what you mentioned this would probably work well for you plus will be easiest to install

of course, for just a little more you are going to get a waaay better kit that is OTK also. It does require reaming out the knuckle which you said you don't necessarily want to do.....something to think about

Good price point, plenty heavy enough for my mild lift and tires. Easy to install
