Lets be more clear on that statement. On a small 2-3.5 lift you will have to use proper bumpstops to keep the tie rod from making contact with frame.
Mine barely did with a 4 inch lift.
On a 4.5 lift I can stuff it in the stock, cut fenders and still have 1.5 inches of tierod clearance.

Ok. Running 3" of bump stops will have less up travel than running 1" of bump stop. Cool picture.

We can tell you this; Our Krawler Joints are true spherical joints and have been well proven for 10 years and counting. All of our systems come with a lifetime warranty on hard parts. Our system handle as tight as any system in the industry and all of our components are tuned to work together. To us, it is not about just Crawling anymore. It is about doing it all! All of our systems are upgradeable as well to a long arm system. Our high clearance independent 3 Link long arm systems were dubbed by JP Magazine as the best suspension design ever for a street driven Jeep!

RK, what would happen if one of your krawler joints burst a seal and spewed all their grease out? Does that still qualify as a "hard part"?

If its your fault that its a hard part? I don't get it. My question was, are your joints considered "hard parts" ?
