I think it came out good. It works really good. I had two seperate tie rods going to each knuckle before. this works much better.

Nice drag link tie rod setup. Be careful not to bend that tie rod on the rocks

May wanna look at a ZJ tie rod...hear they're a bit beefier

Nice work

lol yeah I thought of that too, I think it will be ok though. if it bends ill just do 1 1/4" DOM with 1/2" heims. that should get the job done.

You still runnin the stock tires? If not, having the servo mounted on the front of the axle is going to get hung up on alot more things that the factory steering cover. Same with the rear.

yeah still got stock tires, got a set of masher2k's that are going on soon as i can figure out a good way to mount them.

That drag link looks scary that ain't gonna last long. Here is my setup it works great. Nice and out of the way.

That rear looks pretty good BBZ.

Nathan, that set-up is killing your ground clearance and approach angle.

If you take the time to read my thread (which, oddly enough, has the same thread title as yours) I'm sure you'll like the performance of moving the servo on top of the axle. Whether or not you run 2.2s you'll get a better approach angle and better clearance since you won't have that big draglink on the bottom.
