so, over the last two weeks, a variety of "issues" all came at me at once..

My trac bar is too short (re1600) and the bushing is toast
My tie rod ends are shot, and my draglink is tweaked
I installed the wrong bearing and tried to drive on it, Witch destroyed my rotor/pads...

So, my plan has been to do a OTK steering system, cheap pads/rotors and a double shear trac bar..

my rig is 6" of lift on 35s.. I could really use OTK or High-steer, I would love to have bigger brakes.. and most trac bar setups cost about the same..

SO, after pricing everything out.. i have about $700 in a list.. Wouldn't this be the time to do a WJ conversion? I have a few questions

1:Do i need both Knuckles? or just the passenger side?
2:Are all WJ setups the same? Can i get calipers from any trim/year WJ at a parts store?
3:What steering system works for this knuckle? Do i just get Stock WJ stuff? Junkyards around here dont have WJ's..

4: Has anyone made a "kit" available?

edit: for what its worth, i have a High pinion d30 with 95+ newer knuckles/Hubs

Yes, both knuckles.
You can use stock steering, or make/have made tie rod, drag link and track bar.
