hey guys I have an 06 unlimited 3 inch lift with 33. It currently has death wobble so im looking to beef up the steering to maybe help get rid of it. Was looing at over the knuckle setup but some say you get dead spots and that there for off road only. It's my dd so it has to be good for the roads. Any suggestions?

I ran the rugged ridge steering on my TJ and for the $ it's hard to beat. There's beefier systems out there. and i had actually found it cheaper than this but

i was pretty happy with it. I think i found it for 220 somewhere.

just keep in mind. with that geometry, you WILL get some tie rod roll. jcr, rusty's, etc are all the same though.

I have been happy with the Rock Krawler steering on my LJ.

^ They are nice. I also believe they are discontinued.

Really! They discontinued the Rock Krawler U turn or whatever they called it? I liked that setup. To the OP, I ran the rugged ridge setup and was less than enthusiastic about it, if I did things again i'd run a currie currect-lync setup or a 1 ton kit and ream my knuckles and pitman arm for full time street use. On a serious trail rig/occassional street ride I ran my final setup on my XJ which was a Ruffstuff kit with heims and man did I love how it steered and drove.

X factor I think it was.
