How can I identify a 1-ton steering setup?

[cradkins_9591502]

So I’m contemplating putting my 03 TJ on the market. I am attempting to put together a bullet point list of parts and mods and so on.

*4L Inline 6,
*5 Speed Manual Transmission
*D44R/30F 3.73 gears
*Front and rear disc brakes.

A buddy (NOT any more knowledgeable than I am NOT) commented, as I was torquing and greasing the front steering assembly, that my front end looked more beefy than his and asked if it was a 1 ton steering assembly. I have no idea. How would you even be able to identify something like that?

Can you describe it's shape? What does it sound like when you tap the ends with a medium sized hammer?

If it has one ton TRE’s.

Based on pics that I’ve seen from some TJ’s for sale on this sight I’m thinking it’s stock. When I bought the Jeep 6 years ago it was stock TJ with some upgraded options. I took a bunch of pictures for if and when I post it for sale. Here’s a pic of my front end:

That's aftermarket, looks like Rusty's Off-road brand.

It's any number of crossover type steering that is different than the stock geometry.

I was thinking that you were going to go with
4.6 stroker
atlas 4.3
Dana 60's
E-lockers
Woody shafts....
