My steering is shot and I refuse to replace it with anything stock. I'm at around 5" of lift and want to go crossover (or like).

What do you guys recommend? What are you guys running?

im going to be running the TnT Customs Over the Knuckle steering system

so far ive been impressed with all of TnTs products and will be running their steering soon

ive talked to them on the phone and they say that the only thing u must change is the sway bar brackets, u must use extended brackets (22 buck a pop from JKS)

I am at or around 5 inches of lift and am running the motion offroad cross over steering.  I did not opt to but you can do a over knuckle setup for a few more $, but I think that it is only one side do to clearance issues.  I am really happy with the way that it handles.  It solved all of my death wobble issues and everything is very tight.  I would recomend it to anyone.

Thier are several systems on the market. I'll give my thoughts on each...

ORO U-Turn - A very nice system. However one of the most expensive at $650.

Tera Flex - Once again an expensive setup. Replaces the kunckle on the passengers side w/new. I don't belive it's 100% bolt-on even. I belive it runs about $600.

TNT Customs - Nice as badly priced as the 2 above, but still $370. Requires modification to your knuckles. Also does not allow you to run a stabilizer.

JCR - A better priced setup at $300. However requires reaming of your knuckles and still remains under the kunckle after the fact. Does not come with the steering stabilizer mount, and thier is a know problem with it needing a bushing after reaming on the pass side because the TRE is to big.

Motion Offroad - Best priced of any of them at $250. 100% bolt on that requires no modification to anything. Has just as big TRE's as any other setup (1-ton). Comes with the stabalizer mount in the kit. Is a good proven system.

Rock Krawler - Has a bracket on the pass side that I'm not really fond of. Uses joints on the ends instead of TRE's. It's a middle priced system that for the same amount of money you can have something better.


The best bang for the buck I'm going to agree with Andy and recomend the Motion Offroad setup. Being that it's 100% bolt on, TRE's can easily be replaced, and it's priced as good as any of them it's a hard deal to pass up. It's whats going on my rigs. biggrin

i talked with Bob (the owner i believe at TnT) and we were talking about stuff when i was getting help with the Truss i have, and he says that they do not run a steering stabilizer at all...not to get off topic too much, but does anyone know if that will be a problem??

You may have an issue with bumpsteer without a stabilizer.

Thanks for the input guys.

I think I've decided to go with the Motion Offroad setup. Hopefully I'll be placing my order in the next few weeks! biggrin
