Default rock krawler heavy duty tie rod setup

well guys i ll tell you what this setup up is the best out there for our JK's. after this weekend and running black trails almost all weekend, this setup is worth its weight in gold! ramming and bashing on rocks and using it to push up over rocks it held up beautiful. as a matter of fact it was so good it bent my factory drag link setup! i guess now i ll have to get the rock krawler hd drag link too!

Great to know... I bent my tie rod this weekend and didn't want to replace it with another stock one. How was the install?

easy! bolt on and set the toe. the only problem is you have to drop the tie rod ever time you want adjust it. but other than that, great product!

Good to hear. I assumed they wouldn't be too bad, but you never know with some of these things. Having to take them off to adjust kind of sucks, but then again if you don't bend them, you probably won't have to readjust much...

I've been looking into a HD tie rod. How much do they run? Where can you buy them?

Pics of it installed?

I just installed mine last week and it is a beauty! I used 1 Ton tie rod ends cuz those things would be the first to go. I will have a hard time bending this one. The stock tie rod is a joke; move over blacktop cowboys.

Is the diameter the same? The bracket for my Superlift steering stabilizer probably wouldn't fit anything bigger.
