The currie looks like just a beefed up stock geometry setup. The others use a one piece bar from knuckle to knuckle. That would seem better to control toe when going straight. Maybe the stock geometry (2 piece toe arm) maintain toe better with the suspension drop we see with the XJ's.

going over the knuckle will help alleviate the tie rod roll. like i said, when i have a fresh poly spacer in, i have zero tie rod roll. thats with 6.5" coils.

Nothing fit tight. it actually made my DW worse. Don't get me wrong, Rusty's makes some really good stuff. They just missed the mark on this one. I've been looking at SeriousOffroad's, JCR's, and IRO's. They'rea ll pretty good from what I've seen and heard. I'll probably go with Serious' just for CF vendor support.

Trust me, you won't be happy with a steering setup like what was shown in that video. I had a Rusty's that was basically that same setup. BIG delay in steering responce. Worst money I ever spent on my Jeep. Went back to the factory setup.
