YETI sighting in South Florida :bop:. Really happy with this setup!! I like things heavy duty :winner:.
Had to trim 2" inches off the back of my Rubicon Hard Rock Metal front skid plate so the Drag link would clear, not a big deal a cutting wheel can't handle.
Ken,
Here's a YETI mounted to a High Steer Reid Knuckle. One of our customers in Ohio purchased our top mount YETI that was designed for the drilled out knuckles. This YETI has the tapered stud and is the same as a bottom mount RHD draglink.
The Reid knuckles are great for lifting the tie rod assembly an inch and a half higher from the road. Great concept for off highway travels.

Just ordered a HD Yeti Tie Rod from KOR today. However, I am probably one of the few that will not be using the Fox SS. I already have a OME ss sitting around. Will post pics after install.
My order was made today. My stock tie rod is toast after 1x off-road. Have an ATS that will be installed at the same time as well. Maybe Steer Smarts should sell the ATS on their site. Lol
It cost us a pretty penny to ship product like this but it's worth it. Premium shipping for a Premium product.
Linkages are preset to production toe settings, minor adjustment might be needed.

Now I need to remove the factory TB/Stabilizer bracket and weld in the Artec bracket in preparation for the redneck ram install. Still a couple of weeks of prep/work before I'm finished.
Drives just fine with no stabilizer. :thumb:
For the record I contacted Teraflex and asked about stock vs. raised drag link location for their Mopar Stage III (3" Sport S/T3) they suggested the standard location.

First Yeti no drill top mount for right hand drive ! Pretty cool !
These things are huge compared to the Synergy stuff that was on the Jeep.
Steering is so much more solid now, feels great. Now I have to condition myself not to automatically react to bump steer, it's completely gone now. I was aware of some bump steer, just didn't realize how much until I drove it with the Yeti linkage.
The guys at the shop replaced the butchered knuckle during the linkage install, which I'm sure that helped, but the drag link is parallel to the track bar now. I'm contributing that to the design of the Yeti, (thanks Sawyer).
Ron, I found a metal sleeve that fit inside the rubber bushing of the steering stabilizer and was able to use the bolt that came with the Rock Hard 4x4 clamp after chasing the threads so that it would run into the clamp by hand. Hopefully, they don't all come with messed up threads. I certainly appreciate everything that you did. It feels good to be driving a safe vehicle again.
