Anyone have suggestions for steering upgrade for a 95 XJ with 6.5in lift running 33's? I have a ZJ tie rod and steering is loose. I would like to hear everyones opionion on this before I go purchase

 

over the knuckle inverted T. something like myeh http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...Path=1231_2092&

heim "crossover" would be nice too. WJ knuckle swap for true crossover. anything really to get rid of that crap stock setup

 

Are all these direct bolt up? I would rather stay from too much modifying

 

this is the finest bolt-on y setup money can buy

the currect lync looks awesome to have and heard good things. Money is limited and Im looking for something that is direct bolt on like the ZJ parts. Its my daily driver and I want the steering to be strong when I go offroad

 

well if your steering is loose start replacing the bad parts. the zj tie rod was strong enough for offroading. but I was burning ends and the angles were what made it feel sloppy and loose. if you want something that feels much tighter you're going to have to put some work and money into it

 

I wonder if that Currect Lync drag would work with ZJ tie rod

 

Im about to invest in a Durango steer box to get rid of that loose feeling in wheel

 

the currie drag link? should work it says its direct stock replacement. newer stronger parts aren't your problem. the stock setup is awful and you'll need to eliminate it. If you have bad ends just replace them and deal with the slop

 

you're pointing fingers at the wrong components man. go do some research before spending any money. you're not going to be happy with the results

 

ok thanks for the info

 

im running the PSC road series 14:1 ratio steering box. it feels like 100X better now. worth the $$$

 

Whatever you do, don't go with Rustys. I did to save some cash and it was a mistake. I eat TRES (every few months 1 or 2 go bad) and it never seems to stay adjusted. Not to mention that it has a certain amount of dead space due to how you have to run the links into each other. Cant wait to finish my D44 front with flat top and high steer and get his crap off my Jeep. The only thing I don't really regret buying from him is the roll bar.

Lol sorry to vent.. just would not suggest getting his steering. I would also recommend saving and getting the full Currie. Steering is one of the annoying and terrifying things when it is not working correctly.

 

I bought and installed the Serious Offroad UTK 1 ton steering kit and it's solid. The only modification needed is drilling the pitman arm and the mount points at the knuckles. IMO, whether you go with the UTK or OTK, you won't be disappointed with their product.
