XJ/TJ Inverted Y replacement

[Tyn Pow]

Still running the stock inverted Y on my station wagon and am hating more every wheel.....every stop I get out and make sure it's still all there

Have seen the kits available and some look decent but I'm not opposed to building my own.....my preference is drag link to top of knuckle with a tie rod under the knuckles and provisions for hyrdo assist

Every wagon I see has upgraded steering linkages, so what are your opinions?

Appreciate the feedback

I ike my inverted T setup from rugged ridge, but thats only since Ive gotten used to its behavior.  If I was to do it again, Id get the currie inverted Y. Beefier setup but in the original configuration. The T has a bit of a dead spot that I got used to, but it scares the pants of anyone else that drives the Jeep. Would be sweet to go OTK but thats a lot more work than what im willing to put into a D30

Currie is the stongest solution with good behavior and relatively affordable.

There will be a bracketry and ram kit available in the next month that will allow you to bolt in hydro assist with the currie kit.

with the rugged ridge you can fix the dead spot by getting a bushing for the tie rod end that connects the drag link to the tie rod. it will prevent the tie rod end on the drag link from rotating too much while you turn the wheel.
 it's pretty decent for the price I ordered the bushings from jcr offroad but rumor has it you can use  the upper bushing of a front shock.

I would reccomend to AVOID the ORO (off road only) u-turn steering system.

It looks awesome and is super beefy but it does not have the correct ackerman geometry which results in tire scrubbing, especuially  in sharp turns, and it also encourages the jeep to "push" when trying to steer in mud. also has a tendency for the drag link to wobble which makes the steering vague and wears out the lower drag link TRE.
