Crossover Steering, Done.

[Kittrell]

Finally got it all wrapped up. Specs on it are a Tera High Steer knuckle. Tie Rod is 1.25" DOM, 3.75" wall, with 22 mm Currie HD ends. Drag Link is JKS 1.25" DOM, .375" wall, with WJ 24 mm ends. JKS OAB, with a shortened Rubicon HD Trac Bar, HD Bracket, and Brace. JKS/Currie SS mounts, with a OME SS. I realize it is under the knuckle. I had it over, but I just don't have the clearance for it. It's not a huge concern for me. I've never had a problem with the stock one, which is a tooth pick. If I ever kill it, with it under, I can always go to a bigger DOM. Angles are dead on, and it handles like it should.

Here is a OTK view. If UTK ever gets to be a problem. I can always redo my trac bar bracket, and ditch the sway bar to flip it all over.

This is about as good as I have. I can go take one if you need it.

That works ok. Is that a prefab'd trackbar mount or is that something you made? Also, do you have any issues with sway bar endlink clearance?

[Kittrell]

It's a JKS OAB Bracket, located under the Fab Parts section of their site. I did have issues with the new sway bar brackets. The path of the dralink was right through where the mount is. So I opted for some WJ ends to push it out. It's tight, but it clears.

Got to love the huge difference in the lengths of the panhard bar and drag link. Ideally they should be the same length to make the perfect parallelagram when the suspension flexes to eliminate all bump steer (can be challenging with full size coils and I have only seen one guy actually get it right but on coilovers).

How much bump steer are you noticing?

How much bump steer are you noticing?

Not a drop, it's all but gone. The trac bar and drag link difference with this setup is almost that of the stock steering. The difference is just a tad greater.

I cant see the pics on the first page.

[praetorian]

did you read the post right before yours?

[Starscream]

I cant see the pics on the first page.
Really?

[joecool]

Would your setup work with stock wheels? If not what backspacing or size wheel would you recommend?

Just a little red X in a square box. The right click do not fix it.

I don't think stock wheels will clear the upper arm. The clearance is tight on my setup with 3.75" bs'd wheels.

Thanks man!

If you have any more pics, could you post them?? I have to correct the track bar and sway bar mounts for the same setup, as I am installing a new Rubicon express long arm kit, and HD track bar with brace, and a tera knuckle, only deal is its the older version, slightly taller, longer arm (neccessitating that I use a waggy pitman arm), and its reamed from the top down, putting it all very close to the oil pan, but I think Im OK in that respect. My tie rod end on the drag link at the knuckle is VERY close to the tire, even with the Warn 5 on 5.5 kit installed (3/4 inch wider per side). Sorry for crappy pics:
