So right out of the gate I’ll say I wanted a Curriecorrectlync. But I have a RHD so it’s not an option.

Preamble:
I currently have a left hand drive ZJ steering rod upgrade. So I have to ubolt in the steering dampener. An adjustable track bar shipped from Australia. Don’t remember the make. And a drag link from an old RC lift kit.
With 35x1.5x15 KO2s this has been pretty good but they wiggle a bit at highway speeds. No death wobble or anything but I’d like it tighter. I like overkill upgrades.

What I’ve been looking at is:

I called and they told me guys run this with 40s all day. So it’s plenty strong. I am just apprehensive and have no experience changing the geometry to over the knuckle steering.


Looking for some input here with over the knuckle steering. Is it wise considering I don’t have many options in RHD?

Cheers!

I ran that IRO setup on my RHD TJ and it was garbage. Bumpsteer was dangerous.

I ended up having my fab guy build me a track bar, drag link, and tie rod with one ton rod ends. Trackbar mount was designed so the trackbar was perfectly parallel with drag link. No bumpsteer, no wobble, and no steering stabilizer.

I'll see if I can find pics.

Great info thanks. Just getting my planning in before Black Friday…. Ok I’ll avoid this.
 
It works just fine and the current one has been on the vehicle for several years, possibly up to ten years doing 8k+ miles a year. I have 33" tyres on my TJ.
