Default Stabilizer with beefier tie rod?

If you get a beefier tie rod like the RE one how do you use stabilizer? The RC stabilzer I have won't fit, cause the ubolts just barely fit around the stock tie rod. So what are my alternatives?

The Rock Krawler Tie Rod comes with larger u-bolts for the stabilizer.
I'd figure you could get them from Rock Krawler if you couldn't find them anywhere else. My stock stabilizer is still good so I used them with it.

Bigger U-Bolts, the RC stabilizer has one set of holes that are oval so you can fit a little big bigger U-Bolt. If that doesn't work, get the U-bolt setup from Lowes that comes with a flat bracket and just put 2 bolts with washers through it, like edwin has on his (you can see it sticking out).
