Yeah Yeah I know, another WJ knuckle thread...
I really really want to upgrade my front brakes. I'm running 2" of lift, and I'm happy with my OEM steering setup. I know this doesn't make much sense since WJ knuckles on an XJ are far from OEM. Unless the WJ knuckles placer your steering in harms way, I'm not interested in over the knuckle setups, reaming the knuckes, and all of the tuning that comes with it.
My biggest concern is the trackbar. I don't look forward to having a new Trackbar mount welded on. I can easily take the knuckles and JKS spacers to a certified welder, but the trackbar mount is another story.
So is anyone running WJ knuckles and brakes with somewhat OEM steering? Particuarly the OEM trackbar mount? If so, what was involved? I've searched quite a bit, and most people running this setup have 4.5"+ lift. I want to keep the small lift, factory steering, with the benefit of big brakes.
