Went to Ruff Stuff yesterday. They were really helpful and warrantied the parts. They are working on some prototype drag links. One was very similar to mine. Another was a straight bar with an offset TRE. I told them to let me know if they needed someone to test one out.
The straight bar with straight TRE wouldn't work for me. Even with the stabilizer removed it would still hit my track bar bracket when turning.

RE used to let me test stuff out. Hopefully you can too. Did you get 2 rod ends?

Installed the replacement drag link end today. I'll keep the Napa one as a spare. Threaded it on as far as it would go while leaving some room for the jam nut. Got it all adjusted so my steering wheel is straight.

Glad to hear you are going again Kevin. Were your ears burning last Sunday? Betty, Gil, Guy and I went to the Cantina for the Con and had a thorough discussion with what happened to your rig at one of the booths. They specialized in drag link stuff. They thought it was pretty interesting and unusual as well.

I was never down. I drove to work the day after Fordyce. I just swapped the Napa end with the Ruff Stuff end.

I'm guessing yes since it's for shocks and not tires.

None of my buddies at the Mall have those, don't think I'll need it.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

You never know, those speed bumps can wreak havoc on your steering!

Hello Kevin,
Let me know if you need help on the install. I can fetch tools for you. I would like to do the same upgrade to my Jeep some day.

Here's a couple of pics of the old and new gear and pump side by side. I'll post more pics of the hydro-assist installed once I get the Jeep back.

So Kevin, how is the new hydro assist treating you? I know you are still gathering intel from the install, but any feedback yet? Do you regret going with this brand? Next time would you try something else? PSC maybe?
I think I need to make the jump soon.
Um...what?
