Ok so im guessing i have about 10" of lift, what have you guys done about your draglink angles?

Ive seen these dana 30 high steer knuckles, i think i might get a pass side and do a cross over setup, actually im purty sure thats what im gunna do.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? PICS?


*Note: Lifted via leaf sprung front end...

i was told that 44 knuckles will work on the 30. highsteer then drop pitman arm.

They'll work on 30's prior to the YJ (CJ, Scout, etc) but not on late model jeep 30s. The inner knuckles are way different.

I know that trail tech has just introduced D30 flat top knuckles. Im not sure if the design uses D44 hi steer arms or not, but Im looking into them. Im not sure if they have a website, but try this:

Holy crap that is a lot of work. Why not just build a 44

How did you achieve ~10" of lift? You mention "lifted via lift sprung front end", could you expound? I run ~7.5" of suspension lift with ZERO steering issues, this doesn't include tire size increases.
