Over-The-Top steering & RUF !!??
« on: November 18, 2004, 04:18:58 PM »
  I just put on the CJ's / RUF SPUA here a few weeks ago. Great deal -- Been hitting the seach areas and was convinced to do it -- you guy's are right about the ride -- Thanks .
Now I'm looking at doing something with the steering. Will one of the ' Over-The-Top steering linkage ' work on this the way I have it or am I going with the drop pitman arm ?? From the seaches the Z-Link is out ... !!

Any help would be great -- Thanks

Yeah, an over the top type setup is a good idea. Huppo is running this on his SPUA rig and loves it. Maybe he'll chime in.

Iv got that set up with Rocky Roads OTT system and missing link. I had alot of bump steer untill I rotated the rear down 3-4 deg. Now it has NOTHING. I bought the bolt on SOA kit from RR over the weld on kit so I only had to cut just under a 1/4" off the front of the spring perch and weld it on the other side to change the angle. Ill eventually weld it all up when I get it where I want it.

hey Mac, I'm running an Acme Adapters Hi-Link steering with CJs front and rear in a SPUA configuration.  It works great!  Steers easy, and has no bumpsteer.

  Thanks Doc -- that is what I was hoping to hear. I may go spoa someday and I think I will invest a little more in the steering now to save a little later. The angle change I may have screwed up also that HUMZUKI is saying is something I have been looking through the seach at also.
 Thanks again guy's for the help ....  Mac

Yeah, but in his post he states he is SPOA, you are not, big difference.
