You've all been asking for it and now it's just about ready. We finally have everything figured out and are prepared to start taking pre-orders.
The High Roller kit from SFR takes what used to be a very complex, confusing, and difficult swap and takes all the stress out of it. Lots of people have been telling me how they want to do the WJ steering conversion because the stock steering setup is so bad on a lifted jeep. It's weak, the geometry is bad, and with how steep the angles are it creates very vague and imprecise control. The problem is most people just can't figure out what all they need and how to make it work. Well now you don't have to piece it all together from many different places and hope to get all the pieces to fit together right. We've done all that hard work for you.
So here's what this kit does for you. We replace that funky inverted Y steering system and all of its problems and weaknesses with a heavy duty crossover system that provides direct, precise steering control. We also move all the steering components up higher away from the rocks to protect it and keep you from getting hung up. This kit also includes both upper and lower track bar brackets and a new track bar to get the suspension and steering geometry just right so that you have zero bump steer throughout your suspension travel.
In addition to all the steering benefits you also get larger, more powerful brakes. You get 12" diameter vented rotors with big twin piston calipers to replace the little dinky stock brakes. If you're running oversized tires this is an absolute must, as the stock brakes simply weren't designed to handle all that rotating weight.
We designed all our own custom parts for this kit so that everything is sure to work together properly. We also supply all the OEM parts required to complete the job, as well as perform some of the more difficult machining steps to save you time and money. We only use quality brand name parts like Timken, Moog and Centric, so you know you're not going to be replacing junk chinese wear items every few runs. Here's what you get with the kit.
We will also be offering a basic kit for those who just want to buy the custom parts from us and source the OEM parts themselves. That kit will include all the SFR parts listed above, but none of the pieces you can get at your local parts store (bearings, brakes, knuckles, etc.). We will provide a complete list of all the parts needed to complete the kit, and details on the machine work that is required. This is the kit for the true do-it-yourselfer and requires more work to install, and of course more time in sourcing all the parts.
We do have a few recommendations and notes before you dive into this. First, this is obviously a pretty involved upgrade. There is welding involved, and it needs to be done by qualified personnel with proper equipment. If all you have is a 110v buzz box, or you have minimal welding experience, we recommend taking it to a professional. This kit requires at least a 16” wheel. The larger brakes and steering components will not allow for a 15” wheel. Some 16s with deep backspacing may also have issues. We recommend using 17” wheels. 17” wheels are becoming the standard for offroad tires these days anyways, so that is where you will find the greatest selection of tires as well. The last thing you may need are longer brake lines. Many lift kits come with them, so if you already have them you're in luck. Otherwise you should plan for them. We will have brake lines available soon as well.
Both kits can be found on the SFR web site at http://www.stinkyfab.com/jeep-steering-and-brake-kit.html . Pricing for the High Roller kit will be $1950, and the basic kit will be $775, but we are offering introductory pricing of $100 off either kit. We plan to begin shipping before the end of the month.
