WJ Steering Linkage Lengths Request
 

Hey all,

So i picked up a good start on a wj knuckle swap for my built d30, i just need some help on the steering linkage themselves-

for my tie rod, i assume the length is the same as stock knuckle to knuckle, which i measured as 52 & 1/2" long...... I intend on just buying the jks tie rod and using the offset wj ends.

What i NEED to know is...

This is going to vary across the board.

Tie rod length is not the same as stock.

Drag Link length is going to change dramatically and no one is going to be able to give you an answer.

You're going to have to measure.

It's this long.

If you use these TREs then you're going to have to hack off the front inch of the coil mount on the axle and the lower sway bar link mounts.

Thanks for the input man.... If someone sits at a 6.5" lift and has a wj knuckle swap, a general hole to hole measurement is all I need.... I will have a few inches to play either way with the tre's.... I know it changes vehicle to vehicle but it can't be that immense if a difference...

I don't understand how you're building this... are you going to buy the exact length of dom you need and guess before you weld it up?

And you're going to need WJ Balljoints too.

Low range..... Prettymuch I have a full d30 out of the jeep that is built and ready to go. So I'm just gonna install at he knuckles, get the jks tie rod, and order a custom drag link from wfo concepts (you tell them the length and they cut/tap it to required length and whatnot.....)

And frank thanks for the link I didn't realize that was so cheap.... I just planned in gettin cheap ones from advanced but that'll cost about he same for a lesser product!

Your Welcome

Ah, well if I still had the axle that I posted pictures of I would go measure for you but... I sold it several years ago.

hahah dammit! well thanks anyway man i know someone out there has it!
