Ruffstuff Specialties RHD One Ton Steering setup on the Jeep XJ

I have always found it difficult to find a good RHD aftermarket steering setup for my Jeep XJ. Ruffstuff Specialties had previously supported our trip with frame stiffeners back in 2018 and they offered to make a RHD One Ton Steering setup for the Jeep which was fantastic and extremely good of them!
They kindly shipped the steering setup and included some heavy duty single flex adjustable Short Arms to our end destination in Northern Sweden where we got them powder coated and fitted them just in time for the winter.
I've been running them for two and a half months now and it's been like night and day for the XJ. Now even my wife Megan drives it as the steering was her biggest complaint.

Big Thanks to Ruff Stuff for the support! Below are the mods I use from them.
