[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 426457, member: 18789"] Crossover doesn’t have any dead spot, it’s just been really difficult for me to make the WJ crossover setup work properly on my YJ. It screeches the tires bad on tight turns and feels very darty on road. Inverted-T is the one with dead spot and factory is inverted-t. Factory had some dead spot even when brand new. Adding a track bar helped to mask it a bit which is one of the reasons Jeep added track bars to YJs contrary to the leaf sprung CJs that didn’t have them. Adding a lift and removing the track bar, there will be dead spot and the taller the lift, the worse it gets. . So it pretty much comes down to making stock work and accepting the dead spot it has (hopefully which you can minimize as much as possible but will still be there some)....or you can swap out for a whole different setup like I did with the WJ knuckles, which I couldn’t get to work right. Me personally, a mild lift with a drop pitman arm will get the dead spot minimal enough that I think I’ll be able to live with it long term. I drove on a 2.5” lift with stock pitman and no track bar for several years. It had noticeable dead spot and was still manageable although undesirable. I think a drop pitman arm will get it to good enough. Contrary to TJs, drop pitman arms are not bad guys on YJs. [/QUOTE]
