Been a while since I have updated this. Got my WJ 30 swapped in. Mostly plug n pray.
Things that need be addressed are..
Track bar, draglink, sway bar mounts, and possibly LCA mounts ( xj/mj/tj/zj are more narrow)
And proper wheels/spacer/adapter.
I used washers to take up the space in the LCA mounts. One could use WJ LCA..
Modified a spare RE 1660hd trackbar.
Removed sway bar for meow.
Already had JK wheels. No more wheel adapters.
For steering parts, I used off the shelf moog TRE, tie rod and drag link.
Drag link is too long. I wanted to go with some thing stronger anyways, so it will go when I get my new links.
I will measure and confirm angles of TB/drag link but looks good far as I can tell.
I did not notice anything out of the ordinary while driving it home.
My steering box leaks bad. Have a reman Lares box on the way. If I need to 'fix' angles and hear box throw I will swap in a WJ pitman arm.
Trans swap to come soon. Hopefully next month.
