Default Rock Krawler Tie Rod

For this writeup: http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...ation-write-up

...is there anyway you can just re-use the factory tie rod ends that came with the factory tie rod as opposed to going to the dealership and ordering new ones?

no. the RK tie rod uses draglink TRE's as they are bigger and beefier.

Thanks!

I'm sold on this TR, but was wondering if I will be able to use the OEM TR as a backup? It seems like you should be able to, since there are no mods to the knuckles.
Of course, I shouldn't need a backup for the RK TR, but the OEM TR is still usable in a pinch. It got bent, and we straightened in in the woods (winch, then bottle jack), and I've been using it, but figure it should be replaced.
