1 to answer his question i am leaning toward serious offroads (frank was very informative when i talked to him and super cool dude, the kind of guy you would want to wheel with not just buy parts off of) tie rod set up. and doing it in OTK setup.

2 but now im wondering if i should do wj swap. price for price i will be close to the same. but will using the wj parts do me justice and allow my jeep to not bind up steering parts.

also before people start getting all antcy in the pantcy saying its too high i know its big but i got a deal on the original jeep it was on.also fat chicks cant jump high enough to get in so its good to keep em tall.
Thanks!
Great talking to you the other day.

It's not the matter of it being a y set up. It's the extreme angle that your drag link will be at without atleast moving the draglink over the knuckle.

If I have a y setup and dropped pitman arm now (rest being stock), will the drag link angle be less if a I put that JCR or Rustys 1 ton steering on it?
