I'll get pics ASAP. My friend is at work today. He has a 94 ZJ with a custom over the knuckle steering. He also has a custom Avalanche tracbar to match it. It works very well so far. The only catch is you have to remove the swaybar mounts from the axle for it to clear. The setup is the same as the Rusty's steering, only used over the knuckle with a few other mods like the mounts, tracbar, and steering stabilizer location. I'll see if I can't get some pics this evening.

Have a look through the albums at the link in my sig.
CaptainFleXJ,
I'd like to get some more information about your friend's custom over the knuckle steering on his 94 ZJ. I myself have a 94 ZJ and have been seriously looking into some type of over the knuckle steering setup. I was thinking about using the WJ knuckles, but I'd like to see what your friend did. I'd like to talk to him as well, if I could. You can e-mail me off the list.

Socal, i built a crossover on mine. I dont really have any good pics of it. Let me know if you need any details.
I was at Rusty's a few months ago and saw his new crossover setup. I really liked it. For the nuckles he machined these pieces that slip down into the nuckle and have a misalignment spacer at the top (picture a mushroom, the stem has splines on it and you tap it down into the drilled out nuckle, then the head of the mushroom is the heim spacer that sits atop the nuckle allowing bind free heim movement. This setup would seem to be a lot better than what i and many others have done. We drilled out our nuckles to take a 5/8" bolt and 5/8" bore heims, using a separate misalignment spacer ontop. The problem with this is that the bolt usually ends up boring out the nuckle and you have to ocasionally tighten it to ensure that theres no movement.
Rusty's kit also comes with a new weld on above axle track bar bracket and new weld on sway bar brackets, since your stock ones will have to be cut off to clear the drag link.
