So I'm looking for a cheap effective way to gain more clearance with my steering, and compensate for a 6.5" lift on stock steering, and I do have a zj pitman arm...anyone done this? If so, how'd it work out?? I'd like to keep the stock rod ends so if I bust em, I can pick them up at a local parts store. Thanks in advanced...Here's what I'm talking about...http://www.goferitoffroad.com/products.htm

I used that insert to flip my driver side tie rod end. nice bit of clearance on one side. had to grind out a significant chunk of my of my sway bar link to fit it. but my recommendation, ditch your stock steering for a real setup. or ditch the blocks and spacers. actually do both

That only raises the driver side so it really doesn't do anything for the angles you get from bigger lifts.
