Cool Im waiting on a new set. I ordered one from Currie and it looked like a five year old packed it.

All the boots were torn off the ends, all the hardware was loose in the box. I sent it back and Im awaiting a new set.

I hope these last longer than the Rubicon Express drag link that I had to keep replacing ends on.

I will do pics tomorrow. The Currie tie rod was not screwed up from shipment. With both installed, the steering is tight, responsive and bumps don't go thru the steering wheel.

This is a great idea!
Where did you get the 3500 tie rod ends from?

I am not talking about the Currie ends. I put the Currie tie rod on but I put the Moog HD end on the Stock drag link that bolts to the pitman arm.

Now this was also installed with a drag link flip kit?

yes the currie drag link can be flipped... the end and the end of the housing are both threaded.. so u unscrew the end, flip the bar becasue the "bend" needs to point foward, and screw it in the other side.
the other part of the "flip" kit u need is some sort of track bar bracket to raise the track bar.

for the person who wont be buying the currie, buck lisa'a idea is AWESOME!!!!
but u CANNOT flip a stock left hand drive drag link.
IMO all the stock ends are crap.

Here's a.pic of both installed..

Im familiar with the drag link flip kits, I was just wondering if you used the 3500 tie rod end with the flip kit. I plan on going the flip kit route when i put the Teraflex 3" and 37s on my JK. I just noticed that most kits dont come with the tie rod end that bolts to the pitman arm.
