[QUOTE="Chris, post: 426459, member: 1"] Makes a lot of sense. There's a lot different on TJs than YJs, and I'm still learning, since I've owned primarily TJs. On the TJs if you convert to crossover steering, it opens up the potential for a lot of steering related issues, which is why most will stick with the Haltenberger factory style design. Of course if you go to a wider axle (i.e. RockJocks), then crossover is really your best bet. However, I do recall a lot of issues on the earlier JK models due to the engineers having switched to crossover style steering. They worked a lot of them out, and I believe a lot were probably also related to people lifting them and modifying them, which of course creates problems itself. This is good information to know though, as I didn't know a lot of it, such as the dropped pitman arms. On TJs those are a big no-no, unless you pair them with a dropped track bar bracket, but at that point it's just a poorly engineered lift to begin with, as neither is necessary, especially at the common lift heights of 4-5" or so.
