Default Steering Upgrade Help

Edit: Sorry, I posted in the wrong place don’t see how to delete it.

I’ve got a busted tie rod end on my mostly stock, non-lifted 2012 JK Sport. It’s a daily driver. I want to upgrade the steering setup to 1-ton and improve my on-road ride. I’m looking at a number of bolt-on options and leaning toward Doetsch. But I’m relatively new to all this. What all should I be looking to buy, aside from the tie rod and drag link? Thanks in advance.

I attempted to merge your 2 threads; Interesting that you want to up to 1 ton? Usually the Rock Crawlers go to that extent. That is a significant step up and for a DD.. IMO major overkill. I have no experience with Doetsch and none with 1 ton axles. Good luck, the knowledgeable and experienced members here could have more feedback.
