Rough Country's new tie rod
So I was poking around on RC's website and found this new Tierod. It looks pretty beefy and its well priced. But it uses the stock ends. What do you guys think about it?

The Iron Rock tie rod is cheaper and uses stock TRE's too. And it's made from solid stock as opposed to DOM tubing like the RC;

Compared to what ????
Take a look down this page to see it installed on a TJ... it ends up in exactly the same alignment on an XJ.

Its pretty obviously still over the axle tube... the LCAs and differential hang down much further.

Another option is this.. It's the Crown upgrade, you get a solid rod with a beefier draglink and all around beefier setup without spending $300+. This works great is you don't want to mod the stock setup. Although likely not good on really big lifts.

will that crown setup work on a 93 zj 4.0 with 3-3.5 lift coils, or should I just save and go with the currie set up, The rustys for me is out of the question with the tierod roll, and the IRO with heims is there but kinda questionable with using heims on the street, any help, sorry if I am kinda jacking the thread, thanks
