Shouldn't be having that much trouble with them. Also I had a hard time finding a rack for the kk online that was more than 600 bucks. ( and that was a factory Mopar one). Who did your last one? Any kind of warranty on their work?

Offhand I believe the measurement is 21.5". I've measure it before and I know it comes out to 3.5" of lift. Not disconnecting anything when off-roading. Could they have done something wrong with the lift install that would affect the steering rack? The shop I took it too had never lifted a libby before. I've been JB contact with the shop and they can't think of anything they can do to address the issue.

21.5" is 2.5" of lift.

Hi
This is what you need

I know a few guys in Australia were busting racks especially when using front end disconnects.

In a KJ, yes. For a KK, that's a 3.5" lift.

Waste of money. Does not work. I tried it.
I've gone through 6-8 Rack& pinions. I got to where could switch them out in under an hour on the trail.
The best you can do is go to autozone, advance autoparts, and oreillys and by one under warranty and cycle through them. ( I had 2 back ups) at all times, one I would take on the trail. I cycled through them so when I warrantied them out they wouldnt get suspicious. They still did after the 3rd or 4th time. I also have to for sale in san antonio if you want to pay shipping....


The best you can do is tie a ratcheting tie strap around the frame and the rack (this will brace it far better then the aussie thing, and get you home if the mount breaks). IT will not protect your seals though. For that develop a bypass or get a shorter belt and bypass the PS pump. THen you can just drive with out power steering.

Been through it multiple times. ask anyone who knows me...

Thanks for the input. The guy from Murchison (Company that makes the brace kit) told me that's hes had 2 customers that the brace kit did not work for so he rebuilt a KK rack and welded extra supports for them. He claims these racks have held up to severe offroad abuse. He told me he could get me one for $1500 including shipping. I'd consider it pending a warranty. Thoughts?

, why not just go all out.

I was both breaking mounts and seals. About 50/50 it would be one or the other. The ratcheting tie strap will work far better than the brace for the mounts (which I broke twice while using a knock off brace copied from what they are selling). As for the seals......
good luck. We just need a heavier duty rack, hydro assist. or be like me and just replace the whole thing. The failing R&P is what made me do my current build. It was a way to have stronger steering system, then one thing lead to another. Basically it got to the point that if I'm spending this much to develop a new steering system and change everything up, why not just go all out.
