    I've been reading about curing bumpsteer by flipping the drag link to lessen the angle . Working on myI neighbors Jeep that he lifted 4". It has a Dana 30 front axle . Several members say that they like the parts from "Goferit" products but I can't locate them on the web. Have they gone out of business or is someone else making this?

    Can you give us more info on the jeep...a LOT of jeeps have D30 in the front....Yes, it seems as though Goferit is no longer around....There are still a few different options for tie rod flips....one option is Rock equipment from OK4wd assuming this is CJ era D30 - you can buy just the inserts if you don't need the reamer and save a lot of the money:

    This is an 84 cj7 that is still basically stock other than the 4" Rubicon Express lift. Running 35-12.50 BFG Mud Terrains. Jeep was stripped down to the bare frame, thoroughly cleaned and reassembled. 258 six cylinder, four speed, Dana 300 t-case. All rust cut out and new steel welded in and repainted. Really nice clean Jeep, just a little too tall for me to get in easily. I can see that the drag link is too steep and if I flip the drag link to the top of the steering arm it will almost level out .
