    Just an FYI I called and talked at length with these guys and the gears are not going to happen in the near future. It appears that the cost to get a small run of these gears made would put the price in the $1500-2000 range. A bit outside of what mere mortals would be willing to pay.

    P/N 56050223AD this is the "jumper" harness that plugs into the top of the front differential. Mopar refers to it as a wiring cradle. My connector broke on mine that's why I had to order a new one.

    I'll be able to figure it out better when I have the knuckle in front of me. I expect that the length of the arm on the knuckle changes a bit... maybe the superlift knuckle has a 1/4" shorter tie rod arm to help clear wheels, which then increases how much the tires turn for a given wheel angle.

    The steering rack stays in the stock location. The tie rod end moves up with the new steering knuckle like you mentioned.
