Heavy Duty Jeep Wrangler 87-95 YJ Steering Box Relocation Mount
|
This Heavy duty steering box mount is designed to fit 87-95 Jeep YJ.
The mount is fabricated from 1/2" steel. This mount moves the steering
box 1" forward, and bolts into the factory holes in the frame.
In many high-steer applications with spring over and shackle reversal,
there is an interference problem with the pitman arm hitting the
tie-rod. This happens when the drivers side tire flexes up, and
can occur due to a few different reasons. Many shackle reversal kits
move the front axle forward a small amount. Also, some high-steer arms
are longer, and require a longer pitman arm to achieve full steering.
This causes interference between the two.
If you use our forged 2" tall high-steer arms, a stock YJ/TJ 5.5" long
pitman arm, and keep the axle in the factory location, you will not
need the steering box mount. However, if you are even thinking about
a shackle reversal, and moving the axle forward an inch or two, the box
mount is a great start to your project.
WARNING: If you are running an aftermarket bumper, be sure there is room to move the steering gear 1" forward.
