The build you’re proud of.

A front end is a system. Start with the steering you need, then choose the geometry and suspension changes that belong on your XJ.

CavFab high-clearance crossover steering kit with bent steel bars, heim joints and hardwareHD HIGH CLEARANCE CROSSOVER STEERING
01 / CLEARANCE

Follow the shape of your build.

Bent tie rod and drag link geometry, with under- or over-the-knuckle installation after drilling. Verify full-travel clearance for your axle and wheels.

02 / CONSTRUCTION

Machined from solid bar.

1.5-inch 1045 steel bars, CNC-machined in-house. Heat-treated chromoly heim joints and Grade 8 mounting hardware complete the steering kit.

03 / GEOMETRY

Make the parts work together.

Steering turns the wheels. The track bar locates the axle side to side. Changing track-bar mounting height means checking its relationship to the drag link.
