2004 LJ with 4" lift - Upgrading steering linkage and have a couple questions. I think I currently have original OEM components?
1. Sounds like the RockJock Currectlync is the way to go - correct? Should be direct bolt in with no modification, correct?
2. Assume I should replace steering stabilizer. What is recommended Brand/model? I see OEM has a mounting hole in Drag Link but the Currectlync uses a Bracket - do i just measure to put bracket in same/correct location?
3. Track Bar - Should I replace what I have, if so Brand/Model recs? It looks like I have original part and a drop shackle? I have read I should not need drop shackle for a 4" lift? Should I get an adjustable track bar and ditch the drop? Looking for simplest bolt in install.....
4. I can turn wrenches and assume I can do this swap. What are the tricks/must do's? How do I do it and keep alignment as close as possible? My mechanic told me to count threads on the Drag Link adjuster - Will that work with the Currectlync or are there some specific measurements I need to make on existing to replicate?
5. Anything else I need to be aware of before I dive in? Special tools, tricks, hacks, etc.?
Any help greatly appreciated...
