Vehicles with 4 inches or less will have issues with the drag link making contact with the vehicles frame and limiting the vehicles suspension travel, so you want to make extremely sure just how much lift you have before thinking of installing the Rusty's drag Link Flip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rusty's Drag Link Flip is a great option with vehicles equipped 4.5 inches of lift or more. The more extreme lifts increase drag link and trac bar angles and will contribute to bump steer and may cause the vehicle to wonder. The bump steer is caused by the angles of the drag link and the trac bar being mismatched and not rotating parallel The excessive angles have the drag link pushing down on the axle to turn the wheels rather than pushing the tire in a straight motion. The Rusty's Drag Link Flip moves the drag link mounting point at the knuckle to the top, we have a inserted shim that goes in the knuckle that reverses the taper and allows the drag link to bolt into place. This kit also comes with a new bolt on axle trac bar mount and stabilizer mount to keep the drag link and the trac bar in a parallel motion and aligned. Doing this to the more extreme lifted vehicles will \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edramatically improve the angles of the drag link and trac bar and will also offer smoother turning and much better handling and all around better driving characteristics of the vehicle.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRusty's Drag Link Flip Configuration for the JL\/JT Steering System starts with a massive 1.75\" x 5\/16\" diameter wall DOM Tubing for both the tie rod and the drag link. \u003c\/span\u003eSold as a complete unit that includes the complete tie rod and drag link assemblies with Rusty's equally massive \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.25 threaded zinc plated forged adjustable \u003c\/span\u003etie rod ends, \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emassive jam nuts for the tie rod ends and also comes with serrated washers to insure the jam nuts wont come loose.
