wel im getting ready to build up my front steering, I just dropped of my D44 housing at Currie's shop so they can weld on the brackets. I told them NOT to weld on the trac bar bracket because I have heard that on histeer conversions it hits the tracbar at some point in articulation cycle. My question is what do i need to do to the trac bar or whatever to make this conversion work. I already have the flatop knuckles the steering arms. I know the ORGS sells a "OVER THE AXLE BRACKET" that moves your trac bar up 3" would this help? As anybody done this? any help would be great, Im kinda woundering in the dark right now dont hopping to hit something:)


I need to know so i can tell Currie Ent. so they can finish up the work. Thanks

OMG! WOw guys thats just too much information you have to slow down here!:flipoff2:

Do you have an understanding as to how the track bar and draglink should relate to each other?

That is not waht we do here, if YOU needed to know so that YOU could finish the job more people would have replied. Currie should be able to figure this out on their own, I mean that s what you are PAYING them for.

i understand, thank you. but my axle is at currie right now and they say they dont know how to do it. im stuck by myeself
and yes i know the draglink and the tierod should be about 3-5 degrees difference from each other. Is that right?

Here are some pics of the high steer that the local 4x4 shop www.phatjeeps.com is putting on XJ's out here. Hope these pics help.
