I have the Currie now & had the Rugged Ridge, The Currie is the only way to go.(on a stock replacement) The Rugged Ridge is JUNK & you will only get about 1 wheeling trip before it has a fat dead spot. Save you money & buy the Currie...

i have the complete currie kit sitting beside me right now waiting to be installed into my Xj later this week, all i can say at the moment is that it is BEEF and HEAVY, never used anything other than stock up untill this point..so i cant compare, but i would imagine you would have a tough time finding a stock replacment kit that is heavier duty then this currie kit.
i was told however that the tie rod end is a currie only end and that a smart guy would pack a spare, because you cant just pick up a new one at an auto parts store.
i will have photos in a few days of the Xj conversion that will include pics of the steering

According to the Rugged Ridge website the kit you were looking at should only be used on lifts of less than 4".

Go currie and don't look back. I been wheeling jeeps for about 8-9 years now and always used stock steering stuff. A couple months ago I finally upgraded to Currie's steering and I regret not getting it LONG ago. It's firms up the steering and eliminates any wobble from the wimpy stock tie rod. It's also bolt in so just pop off your stock setup and install the currie. Save the currie boxes for your stock steering and bring them along as spares. Not that you will ever need em, but just in case that maybe a fellow wheeler breaks a stock steering part lol.
