SteerSmarts TB vs CORE 4x4 TB

[Speartip]

2008 Jeep Sahara with Rubicon suspension .
1-2 " of lift .
When articulating suspension over obstacles CORE hits diff cover , jam nut binds on frame side TB mount . Just discovered when took the
CORE out it tapped the pitman arm bolt a couple times as well.

Comparing the 2 side by side .
The bends in the Steersmart does offer quite a bit more clearance . The SS tilts forward as well so even a larger aftermarket diff cover will not be an issue .

Once all mounted up you can really see that there is a lot of clearance .
Second pic from the bottom. Looking straight up from underneath diff.
The CORE does not angle forward .and It's current bends do not offer enough clearance .

Bang on parallel with drag link Relatively easy to install.
The bolts on locking sleeve I think are nylock nuts as gets snug quick.
Torqued TB Grade 8. 9/16 bolts to 125.
Sleeve bolts 75.
Adjusts easy when sleeve bolts loosened up.

Hands down if looking for an adjustable TB.
SteerSmarts Yeti is the real deal. It's 2" thick , solid, well built & engineered.
Offers loads of clearance .

There isn't a Jam nut on the frame or axle side
so no risk of binding

Nice review, and the SS looks awesome. But I would have thought by 20,008 we'd be drifting along on anti-gravity or something....

Update . Went for a drive on a
curvy Hwy. Feels smoother than the CORE. TBH wasn’t expecting any driving difference .
The difference is small . But the CORE makes the ride feels a tad rigid compared to SS .
The SS uses rubber bushings. The CORE has poly on one end and Johnny joint on the adjustable side.
So the rubber joints smooth things out . Its not that floating or loose feeling . Just smoother .

I should add in the interest of honestly and transparency . Steersmarts has no input on this review or thread . They were not informed of a review.
I paid $483.32 CDN . eBay That includes shipping and customs fees .
