Default Your advice regarding Drag Link and Tie Rod for my JK

Drag Link and Tie Rod ends are shot and it's time to replace. For my situation what do you recommend?

* I don't wheel my Jeep but I do plow my driveway in the winter so the drag link/tie rod ends seem to be more important than the thickness of the bar itself. Jeep is not lifted and I am not interested in a flip kit.

Do you suggest I go with a $200 solution fitting Moog ends on a generic bar from Napa or go all out on a Teraflex kit and spend $700 (or a little less for the Synergy)?

Any real world experience with the Moog heavy duty TRE's? Are they holding up well?

Thanks for the recommendation. If I go Synergy do I need to go with wheel spacers for my 17inch pro-comp rims?

Another vote for Synergy and you should be fine for clearance with 17" wheels.

I haven't used a plow, but I imagine they put some extra stress on all of the steering components? If you go synergy, the upper trackbar bracket and sector shaft braces might be worth looking at as well.
