Looking to upgrade my steering before going to 35s. I was sold on the Currie currectlync, but don’t think it’s RHD compatible. Can anyone recommend some other options, cheers
RHD HD steering options?

@RustyAutoholicGuy drives a RHD TJ who is converting his Jeep to a diesel.
He has modified the steering and suspension; he could provide you with options.

Thanks @CharlesHS for the mention! So I ended up getting my steering box replaced from Red-Head Steering Gears. My original steering box was shot, I got a used replacement which is was better but still had a ton of slop in it as well. I ended up getting Red-Head Steering Gears to rebuild my original box. I asked them to do any upgrades they could to make the steering box beefer, and they did, however I can't remember what they did because it was all over a phone call. Also it wasn't cheap, I want to say it cost around $700 plus tax and shipping BUT it was the first steering box on my RHD TJ that worked perfectly. No slop, perfect steering.
Now I'm only running 235/85r16 which is a 31.7x9.3 tire, so I'm doing anything too crazy, however the next upgrade that I did that really helped was going to the GenRight Power Steering Pulley which increases the speed of the power steering pump at lower RPM. This made a HUGE difference, especially since my rig I run hydroboost brakes since my diesel doesn't make any vacuum.
I think a steering box with upgrades with the better power steering pulley would help but you probably will want to look at hydro-assist steering possibly depending on how wide your 35" tires are, if you are running skinny 35s you might be okay.
Hope that helps
