I hope you never experience death wobble, but if you do, you might realize how much you're life is on the line with some of these components, especially steering components. Again, that jeep gonna be traveling 80mph down a highway hitting potholes, bumps, uneven lanes. Compare that to crawling along at low speed over dirt or boulders. You can do what you'd like. There are reasons that low-end items are cheaper. We all value our lives differently . Food for thought.

 

Hello everyone would anybody be able to recommend a tire rod and drag link bars for my 11 JK, trying to find something good to replace the stock ones, really not looking forward to spending $900 on a TeraFlex bar, any suggestions out there, thanks

 

I'd get a DL that you can mount in both factory or flipped positions. Something like Synergy or Metalcloak are options.

Besides the standard TR offerings, don't rule out building your own (you can make a nice aluminum TR.........basically ordering the parts and just screwing them together). Here is a good link with all the info you'd need -

Aluminum links form Ruff stuff. You won't see them in the Quadratec Catalog and Northridge does not sell them. Fab guys use them that build their stuff. You don't pay the huge "JK" tax from other manufacturers. They also have steel links. They run sales all the time generally on any holiday.

Dirtman - pitman arm has to be reamed just a bit for the GM 1-ton ends right?

 

I've got the Rubicon Express drag link (1 ton ends, can be standard or flipped, though clearly designed for flipped) and it did not require any drilling. I'm putting an offset end on the passenger knuckle since I don't intend on flipping it. I think it was sub $200 when I bought it. I just opened Dirtman's links and I think I'd pay the extra $20 for it to come with an offset end and in aluminum.

 

Both the pitman and knuckle.

 

I think that is where we lose some folks. Even though it's not really a big deal, to some of these guys it's a hurdle, or at the very least, and inconvenience.

 

Yes, it's too bad most people can't drill a hole. At the same time they want the cheapest fix for something that they really can't afford.
