Ok, I am listening to you guys and saving up for a better tie rod.

Unfortunately I am not able to return that bilstein Steering Stabilizer, so I am trying to sell it for $55 on Facebook and Craigslist ��

anyway, after reading up a little, I think a tie rod upgrade will be a great addition.

I have read mixed reviews all over the boards on brands.

Can you guys chime in with experience and suggestions please?

4 door 2007 jk Sahara will have the 2” Mopar lift, and 35x12.50r18 Nitto Mud Grapplers.

 

Synergy steering components have been very popular for many years, and definitely worth a look. Steersmart/Yeti is a newer option that is getting some good feedback for the draglink (though I don't recall seeing any posts on their tie rod). And I saw that MetalCloak is making one now, the anti-flop sounds interesting.

 

I was looking at the synergy. Lots of great reviews, however, I did read one bad.

Also looking at ruff stuff and rubicon express

The Rough Country HD looks decent, though I have read a ton of mixed reviews about the companies other products.

 

I’m also only seeing a 1 3/8” version from synergy.
And the rubicon express is 1 5/8”

does the size necessarily matter (��) when upgrading the tie rod?

 

Steersmarts is beefy.

 

Yeah, it’s showing 1 5/8” also.

Some have said I don’t need to upgrade the draglink.

I already have a new hd rubicon express track bar. So, I am considering the steersmart to finish it off good.

 

here ya go -

Don't go thinking DIY is hard. That supplier will drill out and tap for the 1-ton ends....you literally are just screwing the ends in to the aluminum.

 

Hmm. $200 vs $415

 

I looked at Synergy but I found a lot of complaints that the rubber boots rip and lose the grease and then the joint wears out to fast. I got the Teraflex draglink and tie rod. Has been on the jeep for a year and no issues at all.

 

Ruff Stuff has an aluminum option now. https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com...g/R2476-A.html
