Default HD tie rod question

Are there any clearance issue with a HD tier od, like the one from JKS, and a Solid front diff cover?

The JKS tie rod is straight and the stock unit appears to have a bend on the driver's side.

Mine is not tacco'd yet, but it may have a slight bow to it. I need to take a closer look.

Thanks!

If your worried about clearance offroad only makes a tie rod kit that uses a straight tie rod with these relocating tabs that moves the tie rod up and slightly out. Not as high as a high steer/steering knuckle flip but theres not enough room for that. More clearance from the diff and from rocks. ps not a salesman haha I've jes been looking at these a lot an thats what I would do.

Wow, those are pricey. May have to weigh the cost of just replacing with stock...

If you can swing it it's worth replacing with a Rock Krawler. Stock replacement will be revisited in the future guaranteed. Get the Rock Krawler and your worries are over...
