i noticed a bit of the "bump steering"... granted... i think it depends on the quality of rubber you stick on your rig... b/c i picked up 5 no namers for a great deal 285/65R16... (450 installed)
i also think my stock stabilizer is bent... so i guess any well known aftermarket with be good to go??

Tie rod
Rock Krawler has a drag link and tie rod available and they come use 3/4 ton tie rod ends. I have not seen it up close. My local dealer has it on his JK so I plan to take a look at up close it in the near future.

Guess you never rode over PA roads!!!
Guess you never rode on PA Roads
WORST ROADS
1. Arkansas
2. Louisiana
3. Michigan
4. Pennsylvania
5. Illinois
BEST ROADS
1. Texas
2. Florida
3. Tennessee
4. Georgia
5. Nebraska
When I went to camp jeep only then did I realize the trackbar was a bit lose those roads where like glass compared to PA. In PA the roads are so bad I just couldn't tell. The Jeep was never "smooth" long enough to feel the harmonic imbalance. You get up to 70 and at that speed you hit real bumps & ruts every 5-10 seconds.
If you Don't have a large steering stabilizer in PA you will wish you did! when I make adjustments it's tough to tell if it's the road causing the "problem" or the adjustment you just don't have enough "room" to "feel" it out.

I agree with everyone. Beefier stabilizer for bigger tires is definitely the way to go. I am running the Skyjacker Dual Kit. It's great. Relocates the stabilizers to the top of the steering linkage and definitely stiffens the steering. Easily installed and reasonably priced. Quadratec offers it. Check it out.

I've ran the TF 9550 SS and was very happy with it ($62), but bent the crap out of it (kept me from falling in a 3' hole). I have now switched to a bilstein HD because it has a much smaller housing and better tucked away ($90)...
