Is there any one who can identify this steering system? I have all new in the box Currie currectlync steering and front and back track bars. Here is the kicker... jeep is a 2003 Rubicon with ORO 4" airock system. I'm not completely convinced that I can or should be using the Currie components.
Can anyone identify this steering setup?

Well thats different! Never seen any of this set up before. I would say you probably can't use any of the front end parts you have. no idea on the rear., but i doubt it there too
I forget what it's called, but that's a "heavy duty" setup used in some of the Grand Cherokees I think. Either that or some aftermarket setup. Not necessary at all on a TJ, I would rip it out and replace with the Currie you got.
Well it looks like a shit sandwich. I would get they off there and replace it with the Currie stuff.
you're going to need a tapered insert on the passenger side knuckle to restore the correct taper direction to install the Currie drag link under the knuckle instead of over it. Assuming the Currie uses the same taper as stock, something like this.
The Currie track bar won't mount to your frame end track bar mount, so to use it you'll have to cut that crap off and put something more like a stock mount back on. And then that won't work with the axle mount, so that'll have to be cut off and a stock bracket put back on, which is probably going to involve your passenger spring perch and LCA mount.

Not that easy when you look at it. It made my head hurt for a second. Looking at it briefly, I would just replace the axle housing with a different one. Then you still have to deal with the frame side track bar mount which would require removing whatever that is that's currently in it's place and weld in a new one.
That is one hell of an abomination that will require quite a bit of work to get it back to "normal". SMH
WOW I have no IDEA who's crap that is but it is a CLUSTER that is for sure.
Yes you need to go back to the stock type track bar but I can't tell from the pictures if the stock mount is still on your axle. I see it one the frame.
I don't have a stock front axle so I can't help there either.
Or should I just replace with JCR 1 Ton OTK steering and call it a day? Believe me I want to keep my currie parts.
The stock frame side trackbar is still there so he's good on that part. I'd think he can weld in a new bracket for a stock type mount for the axle side of trackbar. I have a stock type trackbar mount that came with my Rubicon Express bracket kit I welded onto my HP44.
Why do you want/need to replace your current steering? Are the TRE's bad? Or is there something else wrong with it?
Here is what mine looked like when I first started out and this is a Rubicon Express trackbar with their frame sire mount.
good call, I didn't catch that the stock mount was still there. That's good.
But yeah, the stock axle end track bar bracket is built into the spring perch/shock mount/steering stabilizer mount and it appears to be gone unless it's still hiding behind that monstrosity.
