There is a difference between the 4 and 6 cylinder bracket.
Yes. But isn’t the 6cyl bracket mounted opposite of the 4cyl?There is a difference between the 4 and 6 cylinder bracket.
i'm not sure what the difference is. I just see two different part #'s.Yes. But isn’t the 6cyl bracket mounted opposite of the 4cyl?
4cyl the flat mounting part goes toward the steering box. The 6cyl one the flat part is toward the fire wall.
I have already modified the bracket. Was just curious if anyone else had similar problems.i'm not sure what the difference is. I just see two different part #'s.
Why don't you call tham and explain the issue that you are having.
I've delt with them several times on the phone and they were helpful.
Any welding to be done how long did it take I just ordered one.I have installed the bracket and the MORE 1' body lift. No issues at all. I noticed a more linear response to the steering rotation after the bracket has been mounted (nothing of amazing).

i’ve been eyeing this modification for about a year and finally got around to trying it out yesterday.Any welding to be done how long did it take I just ordered one.
Thanks good infoi’ve been eyeing this modification for about a year and finally got around to trying it out yesterday.
No welding. Remove pinch bolt (13mm)& two 15mm bolts on the old bracket to the frame. Slide upper shaft towards firewall. Slide off old bracket from lower shaft towards firewall. Two 10mm bolts hold the bearing to the old bracket assembly. Take pictures of the assembly & orientation. Grease the bearing and install new bracket. There was blue loctite on my 01’ frame bracket bolts. Breaker bar/pipe and all the extensions & Pb blaster lol. 13 mm pinch bolt was pretty damn tight as well.
The side 15mm bracket to frame(behind the rubber liner in the wheel well) is kind of a PITA. The steel brake lines block it. I put a socket on it and slid an extension between them. It wasn’t pretty but nothing broke.
BTW- It got rid of the bumps I was feeling in the steering wheel over speed bumps & potholes. Not sure if it was the greasing of the bearing or the bracket, but I’m happy.
No noticeable difference in actual steering but it did seem to solve what it is advertised to do.
I installed my bracket today and had the exact same problem as you. My stock bracket was really short and the new one raised it 1 3/4 inches as well. It caused my steering bar to hit the firewall too. I have an inch body lift and am putting on a 1.25 inch body lift so I am hoping that will be enough to give it clearance.I have already modified the bracket.

BTW my Jeep used to be a 4 cylinder but a previous owner converted it to the 4.0L. I bought the 4 cylinder bracket as it was still using the stock 4 cylinder bracket.
How are the small bolt holes to mount the bearing on the new bracket? Mine were too small too.2000
Same problem. I had to drill the holes on the new bracket. I found that very odd like they didn’t know the bolt size.How are the small bolt holes to mount the bearing on the new bracket? Mine were too small too.
I think they got some bad brackets. We know the bolts were the correct size as I reused the nuts. They are probably as produced from a third party and they got some bad ones, maybe?Same problem. I had to drill the holes on the new bracket. I found that very odd like they didn’t know the bolt size.
Did you happen to measure the distance in height between the 2? I think there were some bad brackets sent out since the bearing mounting holes were too small as well.My TJ is a ‘97. It was originally a 2.5L 4-cylinder. I used the same M.O.R.E. bracket with a Savvy 1.25” body lift and everything worked together perfectly. No height issues and I didn’t need to enlarge any holes...
No I didn’t. I compared pictures online and everything went to plan...Did you happen to measure the distance in height between the 2? I think there were some bad brackets sent out since the bearing mounting holes were too small as well.
You know one person. And if I could tell a difference, I wouldn't know if it was real or not.Are you 100% sure you need this bracket? I don’t know any that run it, 4” suspension, 1” BL and mostly above average builds across the TJ years.
