I have read through a couple of different posts and I haven't seen the answer I'm looking for. I am going to put a 2.5" Rock Krawler lift on my JLUR and run 37s on it. I know that eventually I will want to put new drag links and tie rods on my Jeep to help improve the handling. My question is, if I go with the Steer Smarts parts are there any other parts I will need? Do I need to also buy the steering stabilizer bracket. Thanks everyone!

The answer is yes, there are other parts depending on your setup. Assuming your going with the bottom mount drag link you will need to purchase a clamp for the tierod and a bracket for the axel to relocate the steering stabilizer that’s an additional 75 to 100 dollars. This also assumes your reusing your current steering stabilizer.

If your going top mount drag link it changes things and you’ll need the trackbar relocation bracket, tierod SS clamp and probably more bump stop. I have only installed the bottom mount drag link so there are probably people with actual experience that can answer the top mount issues better than I can.

I currently have the bottom mount drag link and tierod from steersmart and a rough country adjustable track bar.

Eventually, I’ll be running what OP is going to run too. If I were to use an aftermarket steering stabilizer, what else would I need to get?

Yes, you’ll need the steer smarts relocation or similar. I would stick with the steer smarts option. One far superior to other options. I made the mistake of trying to save a couple bucks and ended up redoing.

the steer smarts products are far superior to the competitors options. Size, quality, fitment, corrosion resistance.

I have to agree with the SteerSmarts stabilizer relocation being better than the extender track bar bolt version. The SS is not only a double sheer bracket, but is turned 90° allowing the bushing to pivot instead of being racked to the side as the tire rod moves fore and aft.
