It definitely adds some strength, and puts the steering components in proper alignment when you are above 3" of lift. My rig drives great with absolutely no bump steer. Feels very tight and solid. And to me, the red looks better than the orange and black from the competitors products, personal opinion of course.

Yeah... stronger, moves it all higher, and brings it closer to the correct steering geometry. Also the bump stops are solid, and are shaved to the length you desire... and they are front and rear on both sides... for a firm stop.

Other than that... can't think of a single benefit! LOL!

Sorry for the upside down pic... lol -it was straight when I sent it.

Y, I was looking at the steering stops and it appeared they were front and back. So we're essentially talking a very strong comp to a Reid knuckle for a good ~$170 less? Reid pushes the fact that the TR is really overbuild and could be drilled out for 1-ton ends in the future. I don't see Rancho saying anything about that aspect so presume that might be one small difference.

These are definitely comparable to the Reid knuckles, and maybe Rancho can chime in on this, but I see no reason why the Rancho knuckles can't be drilled to accept 1 ton TR ends as well. Appears to be plenty of material there to work with.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I have to admit, there are a couple things I hadn't considered before. I don't have hydro....yet....and never really thought about things like how easy it would be to bent/damage a steering stop, and the resulting damage that could do to your u-joints or RCVs.

Rancho

We haven't drilled one out yet, but that shouldn't be an issue as mentioned beefy.

I skipped hydro, and put in the brand new PSC Big Bore steering box... the sector shaft is much wider, pitman arm is much stronger, and seems to be a great answer if you are not going above 37 inch tires. very happy with the feel of the Jeep on the highway right now! Have not been able to be off road yet... another month... we are still getting snow In the mountains, so no rock crawling for a while.

Nice write up!
Great to see some options coming out beside the Reid!

What size rims are these, that looks very close?

Theses are 16's and they do fit lock to lock without any problems. I am planning on going up to 17s with 37's... but they do clear 16's too!
