High Steer Kit..?

I have a 97 Tj with rubicon dana 44's I still have the stock d30 knuckles. I have the Off Road Only U-turn steering set up right now and am not very happy with it...especially since it was $700 ... So i am going to get rid of that and go with some sort of high steer...any one running a good high steer kit that works well?? Let me know.
THANKS!

There's not a good high steer kit that works well because of the work needed to relocate the trackbar.

The best bang for the buck is likely going to be the Currie set up with the driver's side flipped up on top of the knuckle.

I am not happy with it because it pushed the tie rod further forward (away from diff) so now if you hit it it can bend back even further than i bent my stock one.. also it is about a 1/4" lower than the stock one. Another reason is the lower rear bolt that holds the brackets onto the knuckle hit my u-joint yokes and put a farily deep scratch in them. Also it seems as though my steering radius got worse and my ackramen angle (toe out on turns) is not right because now my jeep squeels when i turn sharp...so those are the reasons that i am not happy with the kit.

T&T makes a 1 ton crossover setup. And I think it raises the tie rod about 3" or so. Not a hi-steer setup, but at least it raises it a little.
