Best picture I can find for now:

Of course keep in mind, with this style steering, you're going to experience the infamous "Tie Rod Roll" that JCR customers complain about, because you're essentially building the same style steering with heims instead of TRE's.

Your other option is to go the route I'll be going and get the BTF D30 high steer bracket. Puts both the tie rod and drag link in double sheer.

150 bones.

Damn, that looks badass!

150 doesn't sound too bad, is that just the bracket, or do the heims come with it?

 

[crazyjim]

That's just for the bracket. The heims would come wtih your ballistic kit.

dam that is nice, it will be well over what i want to spend in the end though haha

Double sheer >>>>>>>>>>>> single sheer

That single sheer setup on that pitman arm just scares the bejeesus out of me.

bad news, my iron rock arms dont fit on my new truss. so im sellin the iron rock kit, long arms, crossmember and hardware, 500bucks if anyone is interested. posted in the for sale section too.

 

[Cache96]

really? what doesnt fit?

 

[grandrunner]

since its fixed and the new truss has the uca mount raised on the pumpkin it doesnt reach. so im sellin it to get an adj. kit. probably clayton. know anyone witha grand cherokee?

 

[Cache96]

ahh that is true... post it on jeepforum i bet you will sell it quick.

 

[grandrunner]

You should sell that truss and make a custom lower axle truss... much stronger and you can still use those IRO arms.
Just a thought!

 

[grandrunner]

i thought about it. but im already 700 bucks deep into that axle. and no ones gunna care if its new and just regeared. cuz some have different gears and still need to do my gussetts on it too.. haha if i cant sell the iro kit. ill have to modify the arm which will be another 200 bucks to hack it redo the arm and make a new gusset.

 

[Cache96]

yea thats true...well it might be cheaper to hack the IRO arms then paying for other arms.

 

[grandrunner]

yeah im still debating on what to do if they dont sell by next week ill prob jus hack em myself n make it work haha. i dont have the fab skills but i have an idea of what needs to be done. i got someone who can do it for me. just want that to be last resort though.

 

[tharlanjr]

Chit dude, if this had happened a month ago I would have gotten them no questions, but I all ready got my extra moneys going else where this month, lol.

 

[grandrunner]

[Cache96]
