High Steer for Dana 30, both YJ and TJ
BlacXJeep:
Could I do this with my 3 inch lift? How would it effect my geometry? I just picked up the ZJ V8 steering today, and I was thinking about waiting to swap it in, if it would be beneficial to me to do this while I'm at it. What do you think?

I'm not exactly sure the interferance is on TJ/XJ but it might be worth emailing them to find out. It will help the steering geometry get back closer to stock. With 3" of lift and a tie rod flip you might not even need a pitman arm drop.

Most of what I've read says that you need to use a stock pitman arm with TJ and XJ flips unless you're above 5" of lift, then you can use a longer one if you already have it on. To flip both sides on a XJ or TJ you also have to move your sway bar brackets and track bar bracket on the axle since they will be in the way. I've been doing some reading on this subject and I may just do the flip on the driver's side. It will make the tie rod straight across rather than at the angle it currently is and get it up and out of the way since the passenger side is already higher than the driver's side stock. It also won't interfere with drag link angles by doing it this way.

Spike TV Trucks shows tie rod flip on XJ. probably going to do this

they also show other episodes with 4.0 stroker build, and long arm install
