Alright I have been doing a lot of searching on here for different steering setups and I have seen so many different options my head is spinning.
First off, my setup:
'99 XJ, RE 4.5" short arm lift + 1" spacer up front to compensate for bumper/winch, so still pretty close to 4.5" with all stock steering components. HD track bar and mount as well.
This is my only vehicle/DD that has to get me 120 miles from school to home and back every few weekends in addition to normal daily stuff, so basically 98% street driven (as sad as that may be).
I do not have the tools or the time to mess with relocating the track bar mount as some setups require, and whatever setup I end up with must be 100% highway safe and controllable. Increased clearance would be a bonus, but I am really going for trail strength and street safety.
Right now my angles seem to be about as good as you are going to get and it handles great, but the spaghetti-like strength has got me scared to do much off-road.
So what are my best options for a simple setup that I can trust on and off-road?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
