Dukain Manning do you have any clearance issues with your track bar bolt? Cause I have this kit and it’s hitting that bolt like mad crazy

@@05blkrado I did initially, I did get in contact with Rusty's and they told me about a lower profile bolt that would solve that issue. It should still be available from them.

You got that right, been there done that.

Leo Torres how did you fix it

E Robles so it turned out to be the bushings on the track bar. $6.99 online.

Leo Torres is that tie rod ends ??

E Robles no do a search for track bar and you will see. If you have a factory bar running large tires it could be damaged. If you are running aftermarket everything is replaceable.

Have the same thing, I'm replacing the track bar, tie rod, and sway bar links, from what I've read it's the track bar 80% of the time

I didn't have any issue with that. I had one bolt that was sticking out that the link contacted but I just turned the head of the bolt to the other side. That was the only clearance issue I had, everything else has I could put a finger between. I did have some adjustments that I did to the steering stabilizer to get it to clear everything but that was no big deal.

I think it can go either way, however according to Rusty's directions it goes on the bottom of the drag link: 7: Attach the supplied steering stabilizer bracket to the stabilizer and then loosely connect it to the bottom of the drag link.

I had it attached to the drag link and then one with a bracket attached to the tierod and differential housing. Same system.

No, that was on the Jeep already I just repurposed it.

Yes, this is the same set up as your XJ. You will be very happy with this set up

Very close, if you have an aftermarket diff cover it will cause a problem. I think I have about 1/2 inch of clearance from the cover.

1st you disconnect the rod that connects to the steering wheel. Set the toe 1st with the drag link bar. Once the toe is set re connect the steering linkage, adjust just level your wheel

This was done on my daily driver. Once you get the alignment right and the steering stablizer in the right place it is a very nice driving set up

Yes, you want to have them as even as possible. When it comes time to align you might have to turn just one side to get it set right but over all you want to be very close to even.

I think that would be a great question for the support team at Rusty's I don't see any issue with running this kit with 37' tires but they would know best. They can be reached at www.rustysoffroad.com/contacts

Non at all, it is hard to see from the video, but the the draglink and trackbar are parallel

I can't think of any reason for clearance issues. The tie rod ends are no larger than stock and they are in the stock location. Your best bet is to call Rusty's Tech Department directly and ask them, but I can see where there would be any issue

Jody Newell, the Currie steering step up is a great product. The Currie set up keeps the factory steering design. This has benefits of better road feel, easy alignment process, and easy set up and install. For a factory ride heigth or mild lift I would recomend the Currie set up. Over a 4 inch lift I would go with Rusty's.

Jody Newell if its just a daily, I wouldn't spend the money on the currie.

Yes, When you choose your kit from rustys it asks what your lift height is.

I ended up moving my steering stabilizer to the steering drag link. That fixed my clearance issue on the bolts

Take that bolt out and turn it around. If I remember correctly you will be hitting the threads. I turned mine around and made clearnace

No, This jeep is a bunch of different kits put together. I have ordered different pieces and parts from Rusty's over the years and I have never been disappointed. I am a big fan of kits, if you can get everything you need from one company I would recommend that. Let them figure out all the issues you may run into...

Chad Schnitz cool thanks. I really appreciate it. I went on line to look at their reviews but couldn't find too many of them

They have good setups. Most xj and full size jeep guys run rustysoffroad stuff. It holds up well and around the same cost as rough country but better quality.

95 XJ, if this was only off road I would agree that the stabilizer would not be needed. On my set up I get a lot of steering wiggle without it. The tiered ends have 2 inches of adjustment on each end. Rusty's can make these for your axle set up and lift height for proper fit

So it still has a lot of tie rod roll? I was wondering about that. I think I'm going to do some kind of cross over steering.

95 XJ, ok I understand your question better now. When the steering is properly set up you have very little tie rod roll. The kit includes bushings that replace the tie rod boots to prevent the tie rod roll. If the steering link and the tie rod link are not properly aligned you will force tie rod roll. Once I had the steering link perfectly on top (vertical) on the steering like there was no roll.

I wouldn't see why not. This set up is not any bigger then the factory set up. I would still recommend calling Rusty's to ask. They will know much better then I will.

Thanks what about the drag link ends?

@@enkneegivendaze1246 Everything should be in that link I attached. I took that directly from their website

samuel #yolo buena.

Yes, the set up would be the same for the 97 as well.

4.0 6 Cyl

It is recommended to do the lift first. When you talk with Rusty's they will ask you what you lift is because that could change the length of your steering link. If you know what height of lift you are going run in the future call the Rustys tech department if this kit can be ran on a stock and whatever lift you are going to do.

Yes, you are correct. They fender flares are from bushwacker.

Stock, If you use a drop arm with this kit it will bump steer real bad

Mine does not, it was very close but at full lock I don't have any contact.

Dillon Glassford mine dose, it busted the drag link boot already.

Yes it does even without the bolt it contacts. Now I'm stuck with a $300 piece of scrap. get the Currie.

This kit is a perfect solution for your issue. I recommend contacting Rustys directly and letting them know your set up and they can get you into the right kit. This setup is much stronger than just replacing your current tie rod ends. and you can do it at home and save the money...

Chad Schnitz thanks a ton. Just ordered it. I’ll have to contact them to see if I have to put the stock pitman arm back on or if it’s better to use the extended one. I’ve wanted to replace the steering for awhile so this works out a lot better for me. Have a good day!
