2 questions reguarding 2 differant jeeps. I have done searching of differant shop websites and here at Naxja and couldn't figure out either.
1st issue, 90 xj, 6.5" lift, rusty's knuckle to knuckle steering, RE 1660 trac bar+ bracket
Been reading about how to get the dead spot out of my steering and I had planned to get the Goferit OTK inserts. Looks like this would fix my issue. My conclusion was that I would also need a raised trac bar mount and a shorter tracbar. My question is can I use the RE mount with another tracbar that might be the right length? Any first hand knowledge of a tracbar that may be a nice fit or am I looking at getting the mount first, measure and then looking?
2nd issue, 97 xj, 3" lift planned, JCR 1 ton otk steering, RE 1660 trac bar and bracket
We are planning on lifting my friends xj to 3"s for now so he can fit his current 31s off his old jeep. His long term plans are TNT y link at 6ish lift. So his thoughts are 3" now to fit his tires, then assemble parts for his plans. He is in need of steering and figured if he buys the JCR steering once he won't have to worry about it again. However we aren't sure if we need to relocate the trac bar mount at 3" of lift. I orginally thought if you did OTK you HAVE to raise the TB to prevent bad bumpsteer however the picture on JCR's sight seams like if you have small lift you may not need to:
So can we do a 3" lift with the JCR 1 ton OTK steering with an RE 1660 TB in the factory location? Gonna be a DD until it's Big jeep time.
Thanks for any help you can supply
