Anybody tried one of these kits for a D30. Steering is getting a little sloppy and I'm thinking since I need to tighten up the parts with HD ones, why not go to high steer while I'm at it. I have bent 2 stock drag links while wheeling, so it seem to make sense. Prices look good, but does anybody have any experience with these kits?

What high-steer? They don't have high-steer that I could find. All I saw was cross-over and flip.
Seriously - how many times can this question be asked? Off to the n00b section you go...
Oh shit. I'm not a mod. I can't move it
Yeah, thanks... Do you have any experience with the bullet proof steering kit?
looks stupid... crappy website, crappy steering, tie rod and draglink both mounted single sheer on the same mount. just go with ORO steering
If you don't even know what high-steer is, then why are you even here? You obviously didn't use the search button here since it was just discussed the other day. Would you even listen anyway? Doubtful.
Here ya go: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=high+steer
So you've got nothing better to worry about than my calling it high steer?
OK, so it's technically a tie rod over knuckle kit (http://www.bulletproofsteering.com/steeringoption.html). There, feel better now?
I'll admit that I don't spend my life here, so I didn't see the recent thread, but I did use the search.
Why am I here??? I had hoped for somebody with some experience with these kits to offer some technical advice, but perhaps that's a stretch...
Damn guys- WTF???
The guy asks if anyone has experience with a specific company and you start flaming? WTF. Interesting that you scream Noob! Use the search!!! Well, did you search for this "bulletproofsteering.com" on MC before you started flaming? No info on it. Did you even read his question?
Speaking of searching, took me about 2.5 seconds to find the "high steer" kit on their site (despite the horrible design)- they just call it over knuckle. Maybe not quite the same but obviously what he was asking about.
so just anothe stupid question what makes it a horrible design i still think its a upgrade from the Rustys junk i have now
I don't like the design.
Why not get some DOM tube and make some stronger steering links all while keep your stock TREs.
Plus if your truck is a DD, Heims are not the best idea for steering. Plus they make me illegal in your county/state.
Using really thick tubing doesn't make up for a poor design. If I didn't know for DAMN SURE that those heims were quality, there's no way I would ever buy it. And single shear on just about anything is a terrible idea.
Just go Currie. It's the same price, and a much better designed system, even IF it is under the knuckle.
Not trying to argue with anybody, but aren't tie rod ends single sheer? Maybe I'm just confused on that one. For a DD I wouldn't even consider heims in any kind of steering, unless it was very high quality heim in a good design and safety washers were used (or double sheer)... even then a good tie rod end would most likely outlast any heim joint in that application.
This thread belongs in the Newb section (actually, it needs to be deleted and the OP slapped). This shit has been covered to death and either searching or browsing through the suspension & steering forum would have covered it. It doesn't matter who makes it - it's the same shitty design that many retards try to sell from their garage. If nothing else, a quick search would have revealed what the popular choice would be for a D30. A flip is a flip, not a high-steer.
For upgrading the WJ steering I always liked JKS' kit. Price is right, but really its only beefing it up. No OTK.
i still say go with some 1 1/2" DOM , tap the ends for some "1 ton chevy" tie rod ends(as they call them) , ream the knuckles and pitman arm and be done with it, if there were someone locally that could ream and tap your shit it would be cheaper and stronger than most of what you buy pre made, thats what i run and have had no problems with it in over a year
Don't worry, CurtP is a dick to everyone.
I don't know of anyone here that's run it for sure, but it's been discussed in several other threads with titles about other steering options, I don't think it'll be on the first page of results.
Beyond that; when your attitude sucks, you're going to get nothing but sucky responses.
Point taken.
Would that system even work on a WJ? I don't think you'd have enough room in between the lower knuckle and the top knuckle is, I guess you could shop the top one off, but I don't really like that design.
I'd rather do the tie rod/draglink flip thats in the FAQ.
Word CurtP is a vendor ?
