I upgraded my 2006 Rubicon steering with Zj Moog parts.
Everything seems to fit and alignment is good. However, I noticed that the drag link end is hitting the torsion link at the very end of the turn range. It seems be hitting at about 1/16” before the screw on the knuckle bottoms out.
anyone have this issue before? I just backed the stop screw on the knuckle out a 1/16” for now.
I also noticed the Moog TRE was larger than my stock as I expected but the Moog Tj drag link was smaller.

Is that a zj drag link? You don't use the zj drag link in the upgrade.
