Post Bent Tie Rod

I need some help with an aftermarket tie rod. I bent mine and now I need a new one

I know rock krawler makes them.

Is there any other companies that make beefy tie rods? how good is the rock krawler tie rod? anyone have any experience with them?

Please help

Here's my Rock Krawler (next to the bent stocker). It is very beefy and I recommend it highly!

I'm a total suspension idiot so pardon my ignorant. but I was told earlier today that Rock Krawler wasn't the best way to go!

MOWrangler

Have you tested it?
example would be like putting all the weight on the front and steering or something like that

Thanks guys

I have heard of some issues with their joints on the control arms, but a tie rod is pretty hard to screw up. They use moog rod ends that you have to provide, but they are not too expensive. Ill let everyone know when i order mine
