Default Money to spend lol

Got about $150 to spend on JK. Was looking at maybe steering shaft brace but, is one needed? Wheel about 6 time a year, mainly just Uwharrie, with 35's. Also thought about RuffStuff tie rod. But read to save your money they all bend! Any suggestions?

You read that all tie rods bend or all ruff stuff tie rods bend? I'm sure they all bend if you just pound the shit out of your jeep and drive it like your trying to break something.

read all bend and save your money and run stock. I would love to get I believe RK aluminum one, but $400 I go very easy on skinny pedal and try to avoid rocks

I mean I wouldn't get one unless there is something wrong with your current one and if there is then I think the ruff stuff is a really good price and strong so why not upgrade and have the added strength.

Just thinking ahead when tre's go kaput! You get 1 ton ends with the RuffStuff kit. The strong bar is a plus.

I would probably do the brace, but I've seen two buddies steering boxes go. One after 6 months on 35s. Yes all tie rods can bend, but those HD ones will need some serious force.

I won't really upgrade a part unless it breaks, but I'm all for strengthening and reinforcement. Thus why I'm trussing and gusseting soon. Gotta prep for 35s
