One ton steering

[xjjeeper]

Im looking to purchase one ton steering for my xj has a dana 30 front axle. I do not want the zj steering my friend recently bent his and i would rather put the money tords one ton. I was wondering what brands you guys suggest. If you know of any kits that dont need to be drilled welded or any of that stuff please let me know. i want one that bolts right in and is simple and i dont have over 300 to spend on this but if i have to save some more i will. If any one can help me out thats awsome thanks guys and hope you all had a merry christmas.

def go with a bolt in one ton, and carry a stock steering. Best way to go in case you  break on the trail. I have the ZJ V8 steering and it has done ok so far. It really depends how hard you are going to wheel.

this is what im going to go with when i get around to it its over the knuckle and its bolt in, u can make it stronger with bigger hardware by easily drilling out the knuckles and pit man arm, u dont have to tack in any inserts and  refuse to believe u cant operate a drill so this would be an easy install. either way its worth a look. im in the "bent zj v8 steering" club so i dont blame u for going straight for the good stuff.

If you want one ton steering it is NOT a bolt in job.  You need to ream out the knuckles, and the cheapest I have found the tool is:

If you use off the shelf Chevy parts for as much of the system as possible you will be able to find replacement parts easily.  From what I have seen about the so called "1 ton set up", they are the same parts as the ones used on 1/2 ton trucks, so should it be a 1/2 ton steering?

Rusty's has some nice stuff, but pretty $$$$.
