you need a solid axle to use PU's system, though they might be able to custom make you one for more $$$ than those listed prices. the Superlift Superrunner steering kit is supposed to help a ton with steering angles, which should increase the life of your rod ends. Also, use MOOG brand parts, in HD form if available... pricey but you know the adage. and if you run in any mud/water at all, keep em greased! i do mine every time i get into hub-deep water, and water always comes out of the boots so i know it's worth the effort. good luck, TTB steering is a rare breed

 

"the Superlift Superrunner steering kit is supposed to help a ton with steering angles, "

It does, but it's not cheap and I never could get my toe to stay right with it. In theory it's a solid system, in practice something is wrong. Save your money IMO.

 

hey muddy so where can you pic up these Moog brand parts at? Or order online?

 

I believe I've seen them at various AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance (aka Parts America), and NAPA stores. Check their online catalogs and see if they list MOOG parts as optional equivalent parts to be sure. Their heavy duty balljoint part #'s were floating around this forum a couple months ago, there might be more info on that thread.

 

humm ok thanks alot.

 

Here is the thread that Muddy was referring to.

 

Thank you! Anyone other opinions on the Superrunner steering system???

 

I have the Superunner system, but the only comparsion I can give you is stock steering vs. 6" lifted with 35x14.50 SSRs. My BRONCO lifted with aggressive wide tires steers just as well as it did stock, which I consider good realizing it ain't no Porsche. The kit is expensive though. If I was to do it again, I would have said screw the steering kit and would have got rear leaf springs. But then again, I could just easily do a shackle flip and keep the stock rear springs. Here is a picture of the system.

Notice that it adds an idler arm that mounts to the drop bracket. You don't have to have Superlift drop brackets either. I might be crazy, but I believe that idler arm adds some strength to the situation... or I just might be crazy.

 

hows the steering on that thing ? I notice you dont have any steering stabilizers.

Yeah, I'm not quite understanding what your saying. The handling around corners is fine, but that has more to do with good shocks than anything if you ask me. As far as bump steer, I think it's impossible to eliminate bump steer completely on a TTB, but the Superunner system does help bump steer. What exactly is your definition of "steering?"

Yes, and my Dad reminds me everyday. He and everyone in the world think they're mandatory. I've just heard that they hide flaws in your steering system, but hopefully when I get my tax return I'll be able to get one. Superlift sells a single stabilizers for the system. I could probably, just as easy, get one from Rancho.

 

Thanks for your post. I will save my money. I found the drag link and tie rod for a little under $100 with a lifetime warranty. If they loosen-up again, I will get replacements. I had rear springs made and installed for $400, 7 leaf, flexy to go with 6 inch coils in front.
