Recently I bought JCROFFROAD 1 Ton Steering for my Jeep Grand Cherokee hoping to fix a bunch of problems that I  have been having. Some of the problems that I have been getting is that when I  hit a bump in the road at 55mph+ the Jeep wants to go in a different  direction for a split second because of the Y steering linkage that  comes with the jeep from the factory jeep changes the toe of the tires  as the suspension cycles up and down. Also there is a lot of slop  because of  the 6.5 inches of suspension lift that I hope to fix with  Over-The-Knuckle steering raising the geometry about 4 inches and also  help from a trick with a polyurethane spacer to fix basically all the  problems leaving me with steering that should feel like it did from the factory.
Now their are some other major benefits with JCROFFROAD’s setup  because of there design. For starters, the steering is flipped on top of  the knuckles benefiting the geometry of the steering and raising the  steering above the axle for increased ground clearance. Secondly, all four  of the Tie Rod End’s are a very standard 1-Ton Chevy tie rod found at  each and every Autozone, NAPA, and what ever else is near you. And most importantly,  this setup is incredibly stronger than the factory one.
Now I know of pretty much every upgrade steering setup to choose from out there, but I choose  this one over all the others because it is using all the same parts as  the factory setup. Unless you knew about the upgrade, the only thing you would  notice is that this steering is much thicker than the others. Also the  parts that most other setups include are custom which means if they  break your high and dry unless you are near some awesome 4×4 shop. The  last reason is that spherical rod ends or heim joints require constant  greasing and make squeaking noises, not to mention they are not legal for on road  use in many states (even though no officer would know).
