Get the ZJ tie rod or draglink or Rugged Ridge.

I made my own was going over the knuckle but because of the size tubing I used I was loosing alot of steering throw when turning because the tie rods was hitting my diff cover.
If anyone is interested I have a set of Dana 30 steering knuckles already drilled and reamed for 1 ton tie rods 50 plus shipping email me at nitrorob_12@yahoo.com(you will get a faster response since I don't check the forums during the day).

i use the rusty's steering upgrade. works fine, so far. much better than the crap stock setup. i usually bent the drag link every time i went out.
i was gonna get the rusty's otk, but this kinda fell in my lap when i really needed it.
i've now picked up some 1 9/16 0.25 DOM tubing that i will probably either sleeve the rusty's, or build a new setup.
wtf do you guys keep dissing rusty's products?

Not me I have been very happy with my Rusty's parts with the exception of my track bar, but I have now upgraded to the HD frame mount.
My list of Rusty's part are 4.5" lift with leaf packs, front coil spacers, front tow hooks, steering box brace. I have installed there lifts on other Jeeps I have owned in the past and have also installed them on friends Jeeps.
Here is my only problem with the track bar
Upgraded to this
But I do need to lengthen my track bar now but I'm going to wait till after I do the WJ steering and brake upgrade since the track bar axle mount needs to be moved up.

sorry rob, i didn't mean you. i meant most here in general.
i had problems with rubicon express, but i still don't diss them.... and i don't see them with a steering upgrade. rusty rocks when it comes to xj's.

I am curious what kind of issues you had with RE in respect to specific parts?

I think the only thing folks talk down about with Rusty's is their standard track bar because it tends to break at the tre frame side. I personally would use anything of Rusty's other then the track bar.
