I have a spring over axle set up on my CJ-7. It works very well for the trails I use it on. I am wanting to move the steering arms to the top of the knuckles to get the tie rods up out of the way of rocks and other obstacles.
My one concern is how safe are these set ups? This puts more stress on the bolts that hold these arms onto the knuckles. On the trail this would be a pain in the butt if the bolts broke. On the road this could be very dangerous.
What do you think? Are the bolts strong enough to handle the extra stress? Should they be replaced every year, 2years,or when?
