small lift steering upgrade

gcam · Dec 14, 2004

Does steering linkage bind limit droop on a small lift (2-3")?

Is there a simple and effective way to upgrade my steering for strength and durability to handle 31" tires in moderate trails and regular city and highway driving without swapping in WJ steering knuckles or reaming the stock knuckles?

Thanks,
Geoff

no bind on my 5.5" font end...

steering box stiffener is about all i can think of, but, i dont thin its necessary for 31" tires... unless your runnin like 31x15.5" tires....

Just run what you have.....you're fine. You're always at risk of bending the stock tie rod, so it never hurts to get a stronger aftermarket one.

If you are worried about it a steering box brace is about $75 and a C-ROK reinforcement plate is $100. Neither one is necessary, but $175 is cheap insurance and it will get you ready for those 38” TSLs :laugh3:
