I've got the RK tie rod and it defines stout. I used to have to center my steering wheel about monthly. Since installing the RK TR I haven't had to do it but one time and that was probably due to the stock drag link. Now that I've got PSC ram assist steering installed the load is of the drag link and everything should stay centered real well.

The RK tie-rod does stick out a little more than the stock tie-rod, but the RC stabilizer maintains the same amount of clearance.

Thanks for the pics ranwitscizzors. I have dual stabilizers and worried about that app. I'll order mine now. Bent mine in the rocks last Saturday...

Is it a hassle to adjust the length on the RK tie rod? Seems once it is set your done. Any thoughts?

Yep, just loosen jam nut, unbolt the TRE, hit it with a hammer to knock it out, turn it until its right, push it back in, bolt it down, tighten jam nut.

I only have a BB with stock tires, and my steering wheel is off again, assuming a bent tie rod. No visible marks where I hit it on a rock or anything. Obviously a weak link.
