Yes - draglink is too short if you are lifted at all - I ran a YJ linkage (cut and sleeved the draglink) for about 2 years - it is really sloppy over dead center as the draglink connects to the side of the tierod and causes it to roll back and forth before imparting any turning force...

Then the TRE's wore out and I built a better setup(high steer)...

Matt :rolleyes:
