its definitely bigger then the stock tie rod

the superlift steering stabilizer bracket works just fine, just needs to be ground down a bit to fit the larger diameter tie rod

Be careful with the tie rod, a bad installation can be dangerous

how did they flip the drag link rod end over on the passenger side knuckle? can you drill it out and get some kind of tapered insert?

If i manage to botch mine up, i will probably go this route, I havent seen these in person, but they have a description here: Heavy Duty Drag Link

The Rock Krawler heavy duty Drag Link for the Wrangler JK is simply the strongest drag link on the market! This bad boy is made from 1 1/2 inch diameter solid alloy treated steel and is machined to accept 3/4 ton outer tie rod ends. The Rock Krawler drag link is a plug and play upgrade with no drilling or having to change the taper of the factory knuckles. The drag link assembly has turn buckle style adjustment with wrench flats for precise centering of the steeing wheel which is crutial for ESP compatibility!
