I currently have the Rusty's tie rod conversion kit on my Jeep, and it handles terribly on the road. Off-road, it handles great. But I use it daily and there are huge dead spots when turning around corners because of the tie-rod roll.
I miss the way my stock steering handled, but I cannot go back and use it because I am running 35" tires and 8" of lift. That combined with stock steering is not gonna happen. After reading about all the different steering options, the Toys by Troy crossover steering kit looks like the best design overall that I have seen. Anyone else use this setup or know anyone that does? Here is a link to the page describing this product:

I have a long arm setup and have extraordinary flex in the front end, and this setup seems like the perfect option for what I want. I love how the setup still allows for sway bar links to be attached, as that is necessary for me to pass safety inspection where I live.
I have found others that have caught my eye, such as U-turn steering, seen here: http://www.offroadonly.com/products/new/u-turn/
but none have caught my attention like TBT. U-turn steering is definitely my second favorite option, but the price difference really isn't all that great, considering you get $200 back when you buy the TBT setup and return the stock knuckles.
I would love to hear some feedback from those that are running any of these two setups. I like how there is not welding involved in the U-turn installation, but love the track bar and drag link locations on the TBT kit. These setups seem like the perfect fix to get rid of the dead spots in my steering while still having a setup that will be able to take a beating off-road, but still be able to drive me safely down the freeway. Let's hear about your experiences.
