It may help people to answer, if you let them know which tie rod end you are looking to replace.

There are quite a few tie rods on you front suspension.

Edit: Sorry thought you said tie rod end... My bad

Bump anyways...

I'm sure there are other good ones out there, but I upgraded to the Currie tie rod after bending my stock one. It is adjustable without removing the ends, and it is rock-solid - I know this because I have abused it pretty had. Here's a photo:

I have bent two tie rods because I go rock crawling A LOT. I bent the stock one pretty quick. Then I decided to go to the curries. It is very nice but also expensive plus I bent that one. The 3rd and so far final one is the rock krawler. This one is tough and solid. Just holding it up and comparing it to the currie and or stock u can tell this means business. It is thicker and solid.
Bottom line. Get the rock krawler tie rod and then the moog tie rod ends (the ends at the pitman arm). They are one ton and greaseable. You will not have to buy another tie rod. I hope this helps. Any questions please ask.
