I've had it on my TJ for over a month now and no complaints. It came with all the parts, powder coat was perfect, until I went for an alignment and the guy put channellocks on the pipe and put scratches on the powder coat.

Bought this for my 95 XJ with a 4 inch lift and 33 tires to replace the stock steering linkages. Most of the supplied hardware stripped out immediately (I used a torque wrench) so I had to reuse all the old hardware. Had a massive dead spot in the steering that wasn't there with the stock stuff, about half a turn on center. All the rubber ball joints boots fell off within 4 months. Wouldn't hold an alignment, all the tie rod clams wouldn't tighten enough to hold it. Had it out four wheeling and barely tapped a rock, put about a half inch scratch on the lower tube I could barely get my fingernail in, compliment the steering link. Friend bought a similar setup from Rugged Ridge for his YJ after I told him not to and we took it back off after a week (same issues with hardware and driveability). This stuff is absolute junk, do not buy anything from Rugged Ridge.

Definitely needed the drop pitman arm with my 8” lift. Tried it without the drop arm and had a lot of bump steer. Put drop arm on and drives great

I got a 98 ZJ 4” lift with big ole tires. One of the best parts I've gotten. Install is pretty straight forward and easy. Ride is incredibly smoother, handling is significantly better. Parts feel of good quality. Overall I'm definitely satisfied with purchase. If you are questioning if you should spend the money on this or go with factory replacement, I'd go with this 10/10 times. ITS WORTH IT.

It wasn't to bad to install, it's super sturdy and you will definitely notice a big difference in the steering solid as a rock! once installed definitely go and get an alignment even if you did measurements! Note some say they have their rim rubbing the tie rod on passenger side mine is clear as day. Dosnt mean you will have the same outcome, very pleased!

The assembly is super beefy and it seems like this will be a huge improvement over my factory-ish upgraded parts. There is a slight interference issue if you do not rotate the drag link or the tie rod cross link because the clamps are indexed. Look for this if you have it aligned at a shop - they may not check. The bummer is that I have an XJ with a 4 1/2 lift and 31's on TJ aluminum wheels. The passenger tie rod end rubs when turning left even a little. The only options are: install spacers (temp fix), get wheels with a 3.75 backspace (good idea anyway), or get larger diameter wheels, like 16 or 17. I kept 15 because it's rocky where I go and I'm often airing down to 10 to 15psi and the lager sidewalls are nice and cushy.

I broke my oem 25 yr steering rack tie rod. I researched other brands and bought this unit. It is Stronger and I hope it last 10 yrs. lol. Only issue was damper and where and how to mount. Instructions are not the best and video instructions are 1 plus improvement on how to install. Feels solid and no deep spot. I did not use the washers.
