Dana 30 - DIY 1 ton OTK steering setup!

In this episode I try to explain what a 1-ton steering is, what the benefits are and what to think of when doing this on your Jeep.
How to ream the knuckles for a over the knuckle setup (OTK) and show you step-by-step how to make a one piece tie rod with 1-ton ends on a Dana 30 front axle.
This steering setup will apply on Jeep Wrangler TJ, YJ, Cherokee XJ and Grand Cherokee ZJ.
The 1-ton ends and tube I used was purchased from the Swedish company Mahlin Advanced mechanics and can be found here: advancedmechan...

Very nice!!

[@robertdepyssler2769]

Excellent information. Buy a lift before you land up in surgery and can't go wheeling with your Jeep due to back problems.

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Haha Thats a good advice 😅 I have an engine hoist but my garage is too small to fit it while The jeep is in there. A good reason to build a proper size garage though 👍🏻

[@mateuszkusmierz223]

Do have any problems with cleareance between tie rod and diff cover?

[@reconjeepmods3774]

It was super tight But it cleared :)

[@mateuszkusmierz223]

@@reconjeepmods3774 Thanks. Do You remember backspacing of those wheels?

[@bedlamite42]

It may just be location and availability, but I can't see spending that much time and money on a Dana 30. I'd start with a 44 or 60 if I was going to do anything to it.

[@reconjeepmods3774]

You are correct. 44s and 60s are very rare and expensive to find here in Sweden. The purpose with this XJ was 33s and light offroad. Thats Why I kept the turdy :)

Jag skulle säga kör på med musiken som du gjort hittills (Svar på han nedanför). Kul med lite svenskar att kika på här på youtube 😍

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Tack för kommentaren och kul att du följer 😄 ja det är högst en smaksak. Får helt enkelt ha lagom av allt så borde det bli bra 😄👍🏻

[@RCOnTrack]

Grymt bra video! Jag funderar på liknande mod på min. Brotchade du även pitmanarmen eller använde du original-kulleden där?

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Tjena! I den ändan körde jag original p-ände 👍🏻

[@-wrep]

Borde man inte kunna köra med den långa leden i båda ändar så får man bättre frigång mot fälgen? 🤔🙂

[@reconjeepmods3774]

Jo det borde man 😄 visserligen blir de isf gängade åt båda håll så när man vill justera toe så får man ta bort ena sidan och justera. Men annars funkar det 👍🏻

[@-wrep]

@@reconjeepmods3774 just det... Då får man bara hela varv som minsta justering... Kanske inte så smart som jag trodde 🤔😊
