Tom,
I have read your feed back but I was wondering who else has fitted one and are they happy with it. Your feed back is very good and would be enough to go out and buy one if the price was cheaper, so this is way I am asking for additional feed back from members here to see if it's worth investing in one.

It's on the to-do list. Bolt on 4 link and new PS rack to make her stay straight on a highway again...

When I get the money, I'll be bolting one of these on. I just go through the stock arms too fast because I like the skinny pedal.
I mean hell I haven't even wheeled it on this arm and it's already beat, and yes it is a Mopar one.
Besides shot rack bushings that's all that's wrong with the Jeep right now. (knock on wood) that's why the Jeep and forums have been put on the backburner, been busy getting guns and going to a new job (Ford dealer). Now that I have the time and money it'll be done in the next month or 2

No sense in paying the money for this. Grt the Clayton long arms and the IRO upper arm. More flex for your money

I can't fabricate the bracket myself
Plus I'm not looking to go higher than that I'm at now so no need for the long arms

Would the JBA tri-link extension be a decent choice? Isn't the wearing-out aspect accelerated considerably by the poor angles?

The thing is a piece of garbage and BARELY helps pinion angles. It might help the UCA but that's about it.

Wow, I've been running one since I lifted mine over 90,000 miles ago. The boomerang is dead flat and the extension is as solid as the day I installed it. It's been attached to the stock axle as well as the axle from the 4 cylinder I installed with the 4.10's in it.
What happened that caused the bad experience on your KJ?

It wasn't designed to help pinion angles only the angle of the boomerang

You use the washers to adjust pinion angle.

This. Pinion angle is still very bad and I've got almost the max amount of washers. I do want to try the 4 link to solve my issues. Just waiting on a few things to come through the pipelines.
Its the tri-link's angle I was getting at.... alleviating the strain on the bushings, and not working the balljoint to the limit. I know its not a solution for flex.
What have you got going on that your pinion angle is so bad? 3" lift here banging gears with a manual... and haven't corrected anything out back. Changed one ujoint in 4 years. :shrug:

3.5 inches of lift tilts the pumpkin quite a bit. She vibes at higher torques (so I try to keep the skinny pedal off the floor)
Correction IT WAS designed to bring the pinion angle back to more like stock
