I read 2 similar treads but mine is little bit different. I need to replace the whole steering linkage: drag link, tie rod and all tre's. I have 2001 XJ with about 4" (RE 3.5" coil springs) possible 5" in the future. It has 31" tires but I'll put 33" soon. I might go with 34's maybe even 35's in the future but definitely not larger. It's my DD with occasional off-road trip so I don't need anything bomb proof. I'm on the budget originally $200 but I'd go up to $250.
I eliminated Rusty's, Crown HD kit and Rugged Ridge because of the crappy reviews. I read that IRO HD tie rod is too short so I won't mess with it either. Currie, Terraflex, JCR and ORO U-Turn systems are out because of the price so please try to sell me on them. I know they are good but out of my budget and really overkill for my needs.
I'm down to following options but I'm open to others around $200-250:
1. RuffStuff "Y" Link w. 1 ton tre's for $240.
2. Jeepers-Crepperz HD Crossover Steering Conversion on eBay for $230
Moog drag link stock replacement parts with:
3. Moog V-8 ZJ tie rod.
4. IronMan4x4Fab Solid Steel Tie Rod w. Moog tre.
5. Rough Country HD Tie Rod w. Moog tre.
Anybody has above steering systems installed or something similar for $250 or less? Please let me know what's your experience with it.
