Butt just an idiots guess here.....

Is the bracket for a steering stabilizer?

And the dragLink/tie Rod bar goes from the pitman arm goes to the passenger side knuckle?

Something like this ???? Just a thought

Oh okay I gotcha l, yah I think I'm gonna get new away bar mounts welded on and just ditch the stabilizer.
I'm trying to see if it's gonna be worth it to do the wj knuckle swap with a 1 ton crossover setup made from ruff stuffs Chevy style tre cross over kit with their panhard bar style track bar setup made from the same size tubing.

Just a matter of cash now haha

Haha nice! How do you like your steering setup like that? I might try and bend this tie rod back and just run that style until I can afford wj knuckles with a crossover style setup

not a huge fan, I would probably just do the ZJ Upgrade or a better tie rod if I could do it again. I think the WJ knuckle is probably the best upgrade option out. People seem to either love or hate there inverted T or crossover.

Yah I have a crown heavy duty inverted t steering kit and it's pretty beefy and all but there's just so much slop in my steering. It wanders back an forth by itself, part of which I think is from the Durango box I swapped in. I think it's defective.

But anyways yah I think I'll run his crossover setup for now and then do the the wj setup when I save up some more cash
