Default Steering and track bar opnions

Hello all,

I'm looking for opnions on steering and track bar setups. So far I'm leaning towards Rusy's for all components. My rig will see light use and some highway driving. I have a tiny bit of wobble (not bad but i like it tight) and am looking to upgrade my steering and track bar when I add .75 inches of lift front and rear. My buddy has the RR steering and likes it a lot (his XJ is lifted 4.5 on 31s) but I just dont like the design of the mounting point on the passenger side. Am I crazy for liking Rusty's?

Yes, you are crazy for liking Rusty's. But if you're into crappy components then by all means...

Can you explain? I was only comparing specs. Is there something wrong with the parts. I like how they are made in the USA.

Yes there is something wrong with them. They are one of the cheapest (in price and quality) aftermarket companies out there. I've seen a few pictures of Rusty's track bars literally snapped in half. While just driving down the highway. I don't know about you but that isn't something I'd want to risk.

P.S. most of the quality aftermarket companies for the XJ are also made in the US

Get the steering kit from Serious and be done. Most of the better branded adj. TBs will work depending on your lift height/needs.
