I recently cracked my threads for the tie rod adjusting sleeve and have decided to just replace the tie rod all together to ensure piece of mind out on the trail. I was looking at the Rock Krawler ultimate steering package.http://www.quadratec.com/products/16189_2105.htm Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit or has other recommendations. I would be using a OEM tie rod end to complete the install.

All I'll say is Currie.

I am going to guess that the Currie is going to be the "best" option. I have "heard" a good thing or two about the Rock Krawler tie rod too. The OEM tie rod is not awful though...

I'd have to agree. I've run the RK tir-rod and it works well but, the Currie really is a much bigger, beefier and a better designed unit. It really is the best you can get right now.

If there is time to do it over there was time to do it right. Currie!

I've got the rock Krawler tie rod with a DIY hydro assist steering setup. I'll let you know how it holds up this weekend after wheeling.

By chance do you have a write up on the DIY hydro assist?

I have the Synergy. Very beefy and holds up to a beating! Many of the guys I wheel with have it. I haven't heard of anyone being able to damage it.

I recommend looking into the Ruff Stuff 1-ton offset tie rod kit. I run it for under $150 and its beefy. TREs are proprietary though.
