my "wannabe jeepspeed" grand cherokee build

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?

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

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!

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.

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