Topic: MORE High Steer bracket

[AGUHR]

Spoke with my local shop, he found me some 7pack stock height springs coming out of Atlanta. 

Also found a new MORE Highsteer a guy bought, he is not using and selling to me for 50% retail just to get rid of it.

Sounds great!

Looks like I am a bit late for this but I'll chime in anyway.
Fulltraction makes zero lift springs for the front and rear. They don't have a reverse eye looking at the photo's.

I don't know anyone who runs these.

quick question or need your opinion.

The highsteer bracket is the BTF bracket which needs him joints, which means I need a new drag link with a him joint for it to work.
Also the bracket requires grinding down the knuckle for it to fit correctly.

What are you guys running for highsteer options? the teraflex knuckle or a flat top or the kit bracket like MORE or BTF? 

I didnt know if the grinding and drilling out the bolt fittings would weaken the knuckle or not and if him joints are ok to run on the street.

**Take into consideration I do not weld so anything like this would need to be done at a shop for me.

Do you have a link to the Tera knuckle ?

Here it is. Seems like this is a direct swap. Kind of pricey at $400+ but it looks like a lot less work than grind,drill, and tapping the stock knuckle. Plus it seems you can use the stock TRE.

The Tera kit is good.  A guy I know has it and one advantage is that the aluminum Tera tie rod is flexible.  It can get pushed against a rock and it just pops back into its normal straight shape.

for that money might as well go with the WJ knuckles so you get a brake upgrade as a bonus - you do need the 1/4'' spacer that are another $40 and get them welded but for about 1/2 the price you get monster brakes as well.

Don't you need to change to 16 inch wheels to clear the brakes?

mine fit just fine (i do have alloy wheels though with 3.75 backspacing) but it's close (about 1/8'' clearance), i read that you can also grind a bit off the caliper (there's tons of meat there) - there are 2 types of calipers but i cannot remember the brand that was recalled, you obviously need the other one and that apparently will fit easier. if you want to keep 5x4.5 bolt pattern then you can use explorer sport-trac rotors (if i remember correctly the name of the truck) and that one has the correct bolt pattern. There's also the guy that sells the hydro boosters for TJ and YJ that sells the calipers and rotors (explorer) with adapter brackets as a kit and they are machined down to fit (or maybe they are smaller right off the bat) so i take that's not unusual.

EDIT: I heard you can go true high steer if you spend another $130 for a passenger side right hand drive steering knuckle (read that somewhere) and heim joints http://www.4wheelparts.com/Steering-Upgrades/Steering-Knuckle-by-Crown-Automotive.aspx?t_c=76&t_s=430&t_pt=7571&t_pl=106503&t_pn=CRO5012516AB (the picture is wrong though).
can't find them in the j/y unless you go to UK so they are pricey, still cheaper than the teraflex in the end.

i have not seen a write-up on that yet though so i don't have any details on how to actually achieve it or how well it works.

apparently the rhd solution get's the ackerman angle out of wack and steering sucks so i don't recommend it (just read a couple of posts about this looking for a writeup). I'll have a look at my WJ passenger side knuckle to see how off the angle on the 2 arms are, but i'm sure there wouldn't be a mention if it wasn't a problem. Or you can go with a totally frankenstein setup like Art did (aw12345) on his rig but that's a lot of fab work and not a parking lot swap.
