Ok Pirates, I'm looking for just information on building a rear steer set-up. I know very little to jack and I thought this would be a good thread to start. I would like to know about everything there is from start to finish. I found a couple websites that sell parts but thats it. Thanks!

PSC
They will set you up with everthing you need.

What axle would you use?

how about the rear end out of a 4 wheel steer chevy if you had a complete one you'd have every thing you need just a idea

I'll be using a D60 Axle that is going to be full width. I found out how to convert the axle with inner C's and all. Just don't know what other parts are needed beside the ram and controller. I.e. other misc. parts and hose's and what not. Or how about is there a diagram that someone can point me too?

You could always post this in General 4x4 as it's not a jeep related question...

Welll... You put the knuckles on the rear axle, get custom inner shafts made, mount up your hydro ram to your axle and then run links from the ram to the steering. Call PSC for all the pumps, hoses, rams etc...

You will need to backhalf the frame and body because the frame is too fawking wide to allow the tires to steer. Leaf springs are also pretty much out of the question at this point since you have a TJ so factor in $ for a link setup.

I'm not sure what your goal is, but here's a few things to consider:

Rear 60 in steering applications are only good for about a 38" tire size even with CTMs.

Rockwell or Mog axles are really the axles to use instead.

If you want to just turn tighter you can save alot of time buy buying a front 60 and have 10 or more degrees caster put in it and clearance u-joints as much as posssible. For even more (less) turning radius, run wheels with less backspacing than normal (about 2 1/2"-3") and this will help turn even tighter.

You could always buy a high dollar Sunray axle for an even better turning radius yet.

or consider cutting brakes. much cheaper and might be all you really need.

Rear steer is pretty bling but not needed in most situations unless your running crazy wide axles and tires.......I wheel with a guy running rear steer on a CJ with 44's and he rarely even uses it, and when he does its just show off the bling factor. Even all the comp buggies arnt running it, and look what they have to go through. There are other methods which were mentioned above to give you a better turning radius, along with getting an Atlas and a line lock......

Thanks for the info! Here is the scoop on what I'm doing. I rolled my TJ coming down Misltoe in Tellico last March. My sig gives the current crap that I have. So far I removed the custom cage and cut everything off from behind the seats. I got a pretty good deal from a guy who previously order the BTF rear frame kit. So the frame is done and narrowed.

My plans are to run D60's, 5:13 Ratio, 16" Air shocks all around, Double tri-link rear (with a possibility of doing a rear steer set-up), boat sides, full hydro steering and so forth.

I got a set of full width D60's and a 9"'s for ridiculasly cheap so I have tons of options to play with. I also came across a set of rockwells cut down for a ford truck for $1,200 a town over. I know rockwells would be cool but I don't know much about them and think they will be too much weight for the TJ. I don't know you tell me.

I'm in the process of seeling both my SD30 and Currie 9" along with other stuff to fund the project. I already purchased the air shocks a few months back along with all the tubing and hardware to make all my arms. I would like to post pic's but have gotten around to purchase a red star todo so. I'm doing everything myself with a couple of friends and definately would like all the feed back positive or negitive to help us out.

Thanks again for your feedback.
