Hey fellas I currently was looking at going 1ton but want crossover. I saw a xj driving today and stopped and talked the guy, he had a homemade helmed crossover setup.
Tie rod was knuckle to knuckle, under knucnkle. then drag link to knuckle above knuckle. Said he was using 3/4" grabs 8 bolts holding it all in place. This is exactly what he has.
I've got 3.25" of lift and want something bullet proof. I use my jeep mainly as camping/expo stuff but it does see rocks from time to time. I was thinking of grabbing some 1.5" .500 for the tie rod and 1.5" .250 for the drag link. But idk the best rod ends? And also thought of grabbing grade 10.9 bolts like the steering box bolts vs just normal grade 8.
Would I run into any issues with this setup? Binding? Noises from heims?
