Hey guys, noticed the other day that my tie rod looked like a taco, which explains why my last set of tires were wearing oddly up front... but which aftermarket tie rod setup is best? I was dead set on a Rock Krawler one but then read that a 3.5" lift is required to use it. Is that true? I disco up front and don't want any rubbing issues... I have about 2.5"-3" of lift if that helps. Any help is appreciated!

Currie rods aren't cheap, but are very strong. Tie rod probably won't work with 15" wheels, and you should check 16" wheels closely. Mine barely fit (16") only if wheel balance weights are located just right.
I have a bent tie rod also. Been debating between the currie and rock crawler myself. I did however adjust the tie rod to get my wheels back to where they need to be so I don't get messed up tire wear in mean time.
