Anyone familar with SPOHN's mountain goat series Tie Rod
Looking at this for a tie rod replacement. Advertises one ton tie rod ends with factory taper, no drilling required. Under $250
Any other suggestions, I don't want to have to drill out the knuckle and I don't need a rock climbing bullet proof model. Really would like to just replace the tie rod ends with something HD and grease able.

I'm looking for some reviews on this also. I need to buy something within the next week to get my Jeep ready for a May wheeling trip. I'm leaning toward this one because the Synergy ones are still on back order.

I'll pull the trigger the end of this month.

I don't know about the tie rod, but Spohn has been making suspension parts for Camaros/Firebirds for years and has a good reputation in that community. I had a set of his rear lower control arms on my old Firebird and never had problems with them. I am interested in their rock sliders. They are similar looking to the Smittybilt SRC Side Armor but are American made. Might have to get a set.

Got the Spohn mountain goat tie rod on today, nothing hard about it, most difficult thing is trying to get the Toe in set back as close as possible.
As for the rod and the ends it is definitely beefy. This combined with my new moog drag link the steering is tight and solid. I think it great for the price.
Also did the prothane greaseable sway bar bushings. Not sure they are worth the effort.

I'm running 16s, they do seem closer than stock and Spohn has some info on their sight about it and back spacing requirements. They also have some good customer service as far as Q&A, I had a couple of questions they responded the next day. I think they are really wanting to get deeper into this market, give them a call or email see what they say. I have a feeling it may be an issue.
