Steer smarts drag link and lift size.

[Moto_21]

Thank you for your responses!



Yes, I'm aware of the bracket, and I'm going to get this one

This is the most controversial moment, the manufacturer notice is:

But at the same time, I've seen a lot of feedback from JL owners with 3.5 lifts and they are delighted with the top mounted draglink.

Besides I don't drive off-road often.
Basically, I often drive on ordinary city roads, but with potholes and pits.
Sometimes I go to Europe and I want to ride comfortably at 80 mph on highway
Therefore, for me the main question is how much better it becomes if I flip draglink and add a bracket for the trackbar


What if I install such bumpstops?

You still have to adjust thoughs to the corrct bump height for your shocks and components…in all honesty flipping the draglink on the jls is way more of a hassle than its worth, im still low mount at over 5” of lift. I used to be high steer but i lost so much up travel for very little steering/drivability gain.

If you’re not gonna be wheelin it, then most of what I said won’t matter, but I’m not sure juice is worth the squeeze to be honest with you……

Hello everyone!
I am not in the USA, but in Ukraine and there are absolutely no spare parts for Wranglers here, no way to test and return, and therefore I have to order everything blindly and wait for delivery for several months, so I ask you fellow Jeepers to help me with advice

Now installed @ JL SAHARA OVERLAND:

• Lift: 3.5" teraflex/falcon
• 35" KO2 Wheels: 17" & Backspacing 4.5" fuel anza D558 (17x8.5, -6.33mm ,hub 78mm)
• Adjustable track bars teraflex alpine
• Stock Bumpstops in normal condition
• Teraflex Geometry Correction Brackets (1938125)

I want to purchase some Steer Smarts YETI XD:

• TOP MOUNTED Draglink Assembly with Griffin Attenuator 78077002
• Front Track Bar Relocation Bracket 79022001
• Pro-Series Aluminum Tie Rod Assembly 78095001

My questions are:

1. Is the TOP MOUNTED Draglink compatible with the height of my 3.5" lift?
2. Wheels Backspacing 4.5" is it enough?
3. What should I do with bumpstops?
4. Will I need any brackets to mount the stabilizer? Teraflex 09-02-22-110-000 Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 Fast Adjust Steering Stabilizer
5. Also I want to install axle truss as in the photo below, is the bracket and up-mounted draglink compatible with it?

I would be grateful for any of your advice and recommendations!

You definitely don’t want to flip your drag link with a 3.5” lift.

Why the attenuator? Don’t believe the hype. Don’t waste your money.

 

[Degradant]

Why the attenuator?

You're right.
Anyway... I can no longer get any of the spare parts in ?? Ukraine, the war began, all I could do it was restore the stock drag link

Wow man, so sorry you’re in the middle of that. Praying for everyone over there.

Amen. Power to the people of Ukraine ??. I’m sorry the USA has been such a predictably gutless and ineffective friend. We’re keeping the people of Ukraine in our prayers.

On the Yeti: I have the MOPAR 2” lift, which seems to be more like a 2.5” to 2.75” lift, and the Yeti works slick. It‘s pretty cozy, but the steering/suspension articulate just fine.

Off topic but man, I feel for you guys over there. Well wishes to you man!
