Nope, no OTK right now. Do you have to mod the track bar location for OTK? I have been doing so much cutting lately, that i wouldnt even have minded cutting my coil buckets, on top of that the previous owner of the 4.10 geared HP30 i have in there now cut off the sway bar links, so if no track bar mount mods were required then if i did it again id go OTK. I have an extra set of knuckles, eventually when i get a new stock pitman arm and new gear box (durango maybe) i will ream my knuckles and flop it over to the top.
Honestly though, i regret going with JCR. The TREs on the knuckles are retarded, they are useless, i dont blame this on them, but wherever the inverted T setup was born, it was done wrong. The knuckles locations are in a fixed position, relative to each other. you could weld a steel rod from knuckle to knuckle (with a small adjuster in the middle for "toe in") and have a much more solid setup, where the drag link connects to it would never move around, "roll" or have any "slop". It is a dumb set up, causing roll which makes my steering sloppy. Unfortunatly, no genious of engineering has designed this simple set up yet, if i could do it agian id do rock krawler or maybe bullet proof. On the same lift height, my stock steering had less play
Anyway, on to the other componets. Havent flexed out the 6.5" rustys coils (they are at about 5-5.5" right now, need spacers to compensate for winch bumper).
Track bar is awesome, i just kinda visually dialed it in, looks good enough for now (im on worn tires that will be replaced soon), super flex joint up top has a 1" coupler and is bolted to the RE1665 bracket nice and tight, the bracket is on right (i hope) and was locktighted down for extra safety.
Castor i kinda ghetto checked, checked using 2 differnt methods, got 5* and 5.3*, so i think im good. Could use a little less to give it a better pinion angle, but less castor favors steering, while more castor favors driveshaft angles - but seeing that my front driveshaft is not hooked up i think 5* is good for now.
Drop brackets worked out good, i think they are on nice and tight . The self tapping bolts for the RCX braces though im pretty sure i stripped every single one, but it didnt take much. If my socket wrench did strip them, then they mine as well be stripped because they wouldnt be in very firm anyway >:[
My steering angles are pretty good, just a tad off, but no real bump steer i dont think. I got NO shimmy, but had death wobble twice. To counter this i got angry and aired down my tires to like 20 psi, drove a bit like that and didnt get any death wobble, but i was scared so i decided to get a new stabilizer too, i ended up getting an ENORMOUS F350/ Excursion stabilizer for $70 from Pro Comp. Death wobble isnt something i like to F$&* with
