What a nice little Jeep. I like the style of this one!

Are those High-Lift axles?

Very nice!! Pardon my ignorance, but can you explain a little about the shock being used for the steering drag link? I get that this would be to combat bump steer, but can you just give a bit of detail on how this setup works?

Bump-steer has to remedied by proper link geometry. That's the only way I know of anyway.

Is that just simulating a steering stabilizer, and does not compress?

Or is it your "servo saver", with a strong spring inside?

Either way, it looks cool on there. As long as it's a solid interface that is, and the servo turns the wheels instead of compressing the shock...
