Ok so quick intro on the XJ. Currently running a stock box tapped for assist to a 1.5" dia. ram on a 06 Ford d60 with barnes4wd high steer arms, 04 Grand Cherokee p/s pump, 7/8"-3/4" FK heims, homemade pitman arm, and a steering brace.
I've killed the box again so I'm looking to change up my steering and wanted to see if anyone sees a flaw in my plan.
I plan on running a manual steering box, a sweet mfg servo, and a 2.5"x10" double ended ram as my tie rod. Keeping a drag link so I conform ultra 4 4500 class rules which state you must retain a mechanical linkage.
4.7 STEERING
4.7.1 All vehicles must retain some type of mechanical steering linkage (e. g. 'full-
hydro' steering is not permitted, unless factory-equipped matching frame),
and said linkage must be capable of controlling the direction of the steering
wheels/tires without the benefit of any additional power-steering aids. Rear-
steer is not permitted.
