The question is if the steering with hit the springs when you get the castor correct. If it does then you will need high steer knuckles for both sides to move the steering arms above the springs. Rotating the castor back raises the steering points on the knuckles so you will probably have issues. With high steer arms you are already above the springs so there are no interference issues.

The kit you were looking at only moves the drag link above the springs so you will have the same issue with the tie rod and the springs.

Looking at a lot of pictures on the internet and it looks like most people can get away with just raising the drag link on the one side. You may only need the one flat top knuckle but you will need to set everything up and measure first. I would cut the spring perches off and set the castor correctly before ordering anything. This way you will be able to see exactly where the steering rods are located. Most of the pictures of FSJ's with soa the tie rods are just clearing the springs but there is no room for the drag link.

[wildwood]

Yes
He also does away with the double hole right side and has the drag link intersect the tie rod like the factory jobbie..works well like this as no tangle uppy things will happen.

Others prefer the double hole system.........usually Dana 60 stuff which has more room to move.

ok, will drop him an email for a shipping quote, but I really really really really really really really really really really really really should have just bought a new 6" lift from bjs and be done with it 

cheers for ya helps doods

the only plus point is that it seems buying a rear shackle flip is not necessary as the current one can be used as a template

Once the suspension is finished and all fluids changed, and the edelbrock hi performance manifold, 670 avenger carb, hei dizzy, new seats, TJ flares (so a hack n slash job), and gangsta windows are all fitted - THAT IS THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME

Then we are moving onto CJ7 build so full roll cage building will be the next thread 

[Bulldog67]

altho the AGR SB2 steering box is also calling

Lead me not in to temptation

Honestly, an entire 12 months minimum (not taking into account breakages )

[Nosebolt]

if its any consolation, whatever route your took to a 6" lift you would have the same caster/pinion angle issue

[JamesH]

It will be sweet when done and with all this work you're doing you'll know what's broken when it goes bang and stops moving.
