OK, maybe a little harsh, but zperry69, you really do need to do some homework and research a little into the different styles of aftermarket steering and homebrew setups before asking such a general question. I know for a fact that there are some on this very site. Macdaddy, this is the noob section. Leave the smartass comments at the door.

thanks man i will do that.
 
yeah yeah, just a joke.

It just gets worse once you get outside of this section Perry, so I would learn not to take it so seriously early on.
 
Also when it comes to steering. It matters how far you want to go. Full hydraulic, partial hydraulic. what size tires, what axles. Future plans really determine what steering to do.:beer:

Indeed. It also depends on how much foot work (parts matching/scrounging) and fabrication you really are willing to do. For example, for most people the Currie steering is all they'll ever need. It's a bit on the expensive side. On the other side of things, you can do a TRE flip and use chevy 1 ton ends, but this also has drawbacks and requires a bit of fabrication to build the dragling and tie rod. You'll also have to relocate your lower swaybar connects. Think first what you need, what you have to spend, and what's realistic within your fab abilities.

I have the Currie and while I have beat it to death since, I was able to bend it slightly on my second trip out. I kept on using it to get my money out of it since Curries response was only "that's odd" when I called them about it. I'd look into the Rugged Ridge Crossover conversion. First link is the info page, second is order page.

That's the same idea as using the chevy 1 ton (3/4 actually) parts, but they probably use the dodge ends that match the stock jeep taper. All of these parts are available at just about any auto parts store. You just gotta know what to look for. That's all these companies did. Use stock parts, weld some bungs into some DOM, and overprice the crap out of it.
 
I have the Rugged ridge kit that Rox&Mud showed. It is still brand new so i havnt tried it out yet. Steers great on the highway though and aligned perfectly.
