???Questions about GoFerIt tie rod flip inserts ???

[Ricky]

HI, I've got a 94 XJ with an 8" lift and under the knuckle Ruggid Ridge HD steering set up. I know, I REALLY need to go over the knuckle. My question is, would I be able to buy two of these Knuckle inserts and flip my steering or would I run into more problems besides possibley moving my swaybar link mounts and track mounts? I'm kinda a novice when it comes to steering mods. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ricky

First you dont need to yell ! No you cant flip the RR set-up do to the offset tre,you can get a RHD draglink and do it!

The show TRUCKS did this conversion on there cheap cherokee Episode. They used the Rustys version inserts http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=RS-SS90&Category_Code=ste Don't recall if they did any other mods other than new Tie rod ends and track bar mount. (EDIT) All the info reguarding the items used are on the rustys website.

We welded in my Go-Fer-It OTK inserts back in October with the Rusty's steering. I had the original under-the-knuckle Rusty's steering. I believe their OTK steering doesn't have quite as large as a "box" on the tierod where the draglink connects.....I believe that is the only difference.

i just did the goferit flip on the left side.i did have to cut the sway bar bracket off. but i dont run a sway bar.looks like i gained at least an inch plus clearace on the drag link.felt good on the road test. also noticed that my bump/compression steering wheel movements are a lot less.

Here is the insert welded into the drivers side knuckle, really easy mod, and gained a good amount of ground clearence. We mated this mod up with the ZJ V8 drag link conversion,a nd it looks really stout over the factory set up. We have not articualted the rig yet, but it seems like the sway bar brackets will need to be relocated higher. Not a huge deal...

It looks like a great setup.

Ericsxj runs one, and he has no complaints.

You can easily relocate the sway bar using the poly performance links.

Really, if you take your time cutting at the right spot. You would only need to use some flat stock reinforced to extend the brackets higher, that is an easy fab job.

Did you have to put another trac bar mount on? Been considering doing this for a while.
