Default Need opinion on Suspension Parts

I am getting ready to replace all the Tie Rod Ends, Track Bar, springs all the way around, yada yada yada....


Anyway need opinions on Omix-Ada parts for suspension? Has anyone used them and whats your take on the performance of them, longevity, etc.

This will be on a DD non lifted 89. Thanks for the help.

I used Moog when I put the V8 ZJ stuff on.

Moog is one of the better names, better than most anyway.

Really? Ya think so? I've had great luck with Moog parts. Granted I don't run tie rod ends on my trail junk but they do great on DD applications.

i would be interested to know where you are finding dana/spicer steering components, i have done a little research (not a ton), and am not finding anywhere that shows they even make those parts, including their website.
