I finally bit the bullet after a steering failure on the trail last weekend and went with JCR over the knuckle steering setup. I know all about the cutting off of swaybar mounts, trimming coil buckets and hacking off the stabilizer mount.
What I want to know is who here runs an OTK steering setup (whether JCR or similar) without moving the axle end trackbar mount up?
I currently run Rock Krawlers double shear w/bomp proof mount which I think has some drop built into it but not sure, will check with them about it. I have 4.5 inches of lift and run a 3 link front end. The trackbar has 2 bends, one at the frame side near the mount and also one at the axle end by the bushing. I have spoke to Starboard on here and he said his OTK setup was fine even though he didn't mess with the trackbar, this is on his old dana 30 not his 44. I'm not to concerned with a little bumpsteer but if its all over the place I can try to build my own trackbar using the RK frame mount, heim, and the axle bushing, but can try to get some DOM tubing to make my own trackbar itself. I'd rather not do this though unless its absolutely needed, I might be putting on new swaybar mounts but its not an issue so far.
Any insight with experience on this would be great, like I said not looking to mess with the trackbar unless absolutely necessary. Thanks gang!!
