XJ steering prolbems with big lifts?
hey, i got a 97XJ with a 6in kit and 33's. ive been breaking/bending steering bars. i was wondering if theres a cheaper way to fix this than buying a 500+ kit to raise up the steering? thanks, bob.

Well, for a good budget tierod upgrade you could look into a ZJ tie rod like this:

Or if you had a little more dough you could go for a brand name for less than $500.

There's alot of stuff out there you could do to beef up your steering, alot of good threads and writeups here too. These are just a couple ideas..
