any help would be great

teraflex has a bolt on kit. i think its meant for TJ's, but might be what you need on your YJ. the passenger side outter knuckle is replaced with a new one that has a higher arm for the drag link to bolt on to. it comes with aluminium tie rod and drag link with tie rod ends.

hope this helps. i know there are some others out there. ive installed this on a tj and it was pretty slick.

apparently this kit will work on YJ's.

I would suggest staying away from the Tera Flex High Steer Kit....actually they should really call it "Lower Steer". ::) The tie rod actually sits lower then stock, and I had sooo much bump steer the jeep was not safe to drive on the road :o
It took a lot of work (about 20+ hours) to get this kit to work on my TJ with a 4" lift, and if you read carefully on their site there's a disclaimer about additional modifications to get the kit to work properly. I dunno maybe it works better on a stock jeep.
Also the TRE's that come with it are junk, so we had to mix and match various Tie Rod Ends to make everything work.
At the end of the day, we got it to work and would not recommend this kit to anyone.
