Was wondering is anyone running the stock jk tie rod and 37s? If so any problems apart from being a little weak

 

not personally running that, but i can say the stock one on 35s was out of alignment for me after almost every trip. I also ran a 1.5od x .25 wall tie rod and bent that my first trip out. I now use 1.75 x .250 wall. No way I would want the stock one.

 

my stock tie rod bent with my 37s very quickly. It will not last very long. it is what it is

 

My stock one lasted for about 65k miles with 37s. I replaced it with a synergy and that was because I was replacing the rest of my steering with a Rock Krawler ultimate steering kit and figured if I had left it, it would of been the next thing to go.

 

don't think tire size is a major factor more than the fact that the stock bar is just plain wimpy.....mine looked like a wet noodle on 35's, but I am on 37's now and just installed a Poly Tie Rod last weekend!

 

It will hold up just fine unless you plan on bumping into something with it.

Mine held up fine on 37's, up until a big log put a bend in it.

If you don't plan on possibly bumping into something with it, you should be just fine... but if so, I'd consider carrying a spare stock takeoff, or upgrading.

I went with the Rock Krawler Aluminum one myself, as you can see I haven't stopped bumping into things
(not that it was intentional - a tie rod that can take a hit is still no substitute for proper lines or a good spotter)

 

I've got about 40k on mine with 37s. No issues,

 

I've got about 15k miles on my stocker with 37's with no issues yet. Although, within maybe the next week or so I'll be ordering probably a MetalCloak tie rod or Synergy I'm thinking. I just haven't decided which yet. If anyone has any opinions please let me know!

 

Go with the synergy stuff it's made out of chromoly and they give you one ton tie rod ends

 

Hard to tell but are you missing the jam nut on your drag link?
