Steering upgrades
hey everyone,
I have a 2011 JK Sport. 3" RK springs, TF 9550 shocks, TF adjustable trac bars, 315x70x17 milestar pats. On go topless day i bent my tie rod, blew out the rod ends on the drag bar. I want to upgrade my steering to 1 ton steering with heim joints. I want to make them not buy them. My question is, would 3/4" joints with 5/8" bolts suffice? Or should i go with 7/8"joints and 3/4" bolts? I like to play hard so i want the strongest setup.
thanks in advance.

Yes you would need to drill out or get you could also get joints from :

I have a Currie version of the 2.5T steering and yes its nice and its strong but the joint doesn't flex enough for my suspension.
So the tie rod binds and I've had to adjust my limit straps ..hence loose articulation.
That's why I don't recommend them and will be changing over to the EMF joints.
