By far... the Off Road Only U-turn is the best you can get.

Anyone else smell spam?

Honestly? Spend a little money and buy the full WJ steering kit from Claytons. If you are broke, source all the stuff yourself, but you can't beat the price they give you on ALL of the parts needed for the swap, including mods like OTK TRE's.

Has anyone any experience with the Clayton set-up? Miles, trails run, etc.? Looks good, trustworthy vendor, but data rules. I'm just now having to replace a stock pitman draglink end after 50k lifted, highway and trailcrawling miles. The aftermarket trackbars have been replaced 3 times , while the steering(stock draglink, JKS tierod with stock new style ends) just now needs a tierod end. I've only been on 33's for 4 years, I suspect on 31's, I wouldn't have to replace that end.

Curious minds want to know.

I've been very happy with the currie currectlync.

Tons of guys have be running the WJ steering setup on XJs for a long time. Long enough to have JKS make a bunch of parts for the swap. There are a few writeups on this site documenting the swap.

Clayton just puts all the parts together in one spot to make it really easy for you to buy and install instead of scouring the internet to make sure you have the right parts, then finding them all in a junkyard or whatever.

Search for XJEEPER (I think) and at least one other guy has a great writeup.

Your link is broken.

What are you asking? Yes currie steering is bolt on and should require no other mods.

Thanks.

Here's a link to the same setup from Kevin's Offroad in AZ (for the Left Coast folks).

If you are buying Currie, which is a great kit, get this one:

I bent my Currie tie rod pretty easily. The one in this kit won't bend. Fully bolt on to stock knuckles and pitman arm with no reaming.

Sweet. Already have over the knuckle on the driver's side. D30 I bought came with the mod. Should still bolt up, eh?

Thanks.

You will need to move the sway bar mounts if yours aren't moved already

I went with the terraflex kit I paid for it but I like it.

I run the currie steering with over the knuckle on the driver side. I do have a slight bend in my tierod. But it hasn't affected function at all. Got my kit second hand and it rocks.
