On pbb I found a yj d30 with a teraflex hi steer kit and alumiflex style tie rod and draglink for 250 will this work on an xj? Is 250 worth it? What will I need to do to make this work? Am I gonna need a jks custom trakbar setup?

The Tie Rod will not work OTK, it's like 1.57" which will not fit, even with everything clearanced. That being said, if you mount it UTK, it will all work.

Wait so it won't clear the brake caliper/tire/rim OTK? So its pointless to buy right? Cause I'm gonna have hysteer arms with the tie rod under em, what's the point of that. I can't use a rim with more offet like 3.5 or something?

No, it won't clear the brackets on the front of the axle. And at that width, possibly the diff cover, more then likely not if it's aftermarket. The point of the tera knuckle isn't necessarily to get high steer. I am using it for the cross over steering capabilities.

So do you think its worth it for $250? I haven't found anything comparable for less than that, I know for another 100 I could probably get something that uses the stock knuckle and a bolt like the bulletproof setup but then I gotta worry about shipping and all that jazz.

Now when you say it won't clear the brackets on the front of the axle you mean the swaybar brackets right?

I mean ALL the brackets.

Hey 91. How does your steering feel compared to the inverted y?
By the way, that is a super clean job!!! Very nice.

Yeah ouch. But I needed it by Friday :) The sales manager from Tera in Salt Lake City is personally driving it over to my house. Would have cost me 40-50 bucks to have over nighted from anywhere else.

With no gaurentee of it making it by Friday. Out in the sticks where I live overnight isn't the same :) I just happen to live by the guy. It's all good.
