Default Cavfab Tie rods

Has anyone used the JK cavfab tie rod? I just came across it and it looks quite beefy but the price tag of 199 (on sale) kinda makes me wonder. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have the CAVFAB 1ton kit and it's very nice equipment. The tie rod tubing is solid steel. No questions asked warranty also.

Did you have to open up the holes to except the tie rods or where you able to just bolt and go?

The only hole I had to ream was the drop pitmen arm. The tie rods end bolted right up and I removed factory hardware to install the CAVFAB.

I got ,ine in yesterday and that thing seems BEEFY! Last question. Have you been running without steering stabilizer? As im sure youre aware it doesnt come with the bracket and I have a long road trip with some trail running coming up and dont want to get a surprises during the 1600 mile round trip.

I don't have the cavfab but I ran the Ruff Stuff and now the Doetsch tech aluminum tie rod without a stabilizer and without plans of adding one. The DT tie rod came with the bracket so I promptly sold it for $20.

I’m running a steering stabilizer. CAVFAB sells a beefy bracket for around $30 or so bucks.
