I have great kids! They ordered a Currectlync Steering System for me for my 60th birthday.
Well, we wanted to make sure the steering didn't pretzel when we take it wheeling the first time just because I talked you into 35" tires!I have great kids! They ordered a Currectlync Steering System for me for my 60th birthday.
I wish my kids would order me that. Though, they are only 7 and 9..... lolI have great kids! They ordered a Currectlync Steering System for me for my 60th birthday.
Since you 'almost pulled the trigger' on the crate axle, I am assuming you went ahead with the built 8.8? I think you allude to that, just confirming that you went that direction...if so, nice!Project update:
I almost pulled the trigger on a crate rear axle with locker. I discussed my plan with a friend who has been wheeling his TJs for years. He suggested I look into an 8.8 swap with new axel shafts,re-gear, with ARB lockers. I spoke with the owner of a shop that my son, and several others had suggested. It turns out that He was able to do the 8.8, new chrome molly axles front and rear, ARB lockers with compressor, trussed front, 4.88 gears, rear disc brakes, for a bit more than I was looking at for parts only.
I am convinced that he has delivered a safer product than I would have been able to produce, ever. The other benefit is that he has saved me months of weekend work. Our first wheeling trip to a local off road park was a huge success.
This weekend we installed the Currie steering kit. While installing that I discovered the steering damper is shot. It gives virtually zero resistance in either direction. Driving the Jeep, I cannot tell it is gone. My question is which steering stabilizer makes sense? I have no driveline or suspension issues, but I do want a functional unit in it when the gears are broken in and I can wheel it the way I want to. Thanks in advance for the help.
