Default Parts from Rustys?

So took my jeep to the shop last week to get some things fixed and they told me i need new tie rod ends. I was looking at my tie rod today, and i can bend it back and forth with my hands, so i figured why not just upgrade and get a whole new one. which let me to this: http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...Category_Code= does anyone have it?

and realized that the annoying popping noise when i turn was coming from my cheapo sway bar discos. so thinking about getting these: http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...Category_Code= anyone have them?

any help is appreciated

I'm a huge Rustys supporter. Him & Rough Country make some of the best quality to price products on the market for Jeeps IMO. I've met him a few times in person too, nice guy who really cares about his product & customers. Personally, I think I've covered a good portion of his retirement fund.

I have non adjustable JKS discos. They are great and the only thing I have changed is ditching the stupid washer, clip combo and getting some torsion style clips (which looks like that set would come with already)

For the tie rod... Looks solid. Most people upgrade to the ZJ tie rod though. It's ultimately up to you.

True, the shipping is a bit pricier

yeah, higher shipping prices, but they're products are very good, especially for being on the lower end of costs. I got they're 3" spring pack lift and added shackles and spacers later to go a bit higher but the lift kit itself is great. Good ride, really nice flex, and no issues at all. Just got their HD steering set up as well. It's going on this weekend and I can tell you, the thing is stout.

X2 I have ordered from rusty's and rc without any complaints at all. I have the rusty's 1" drop crossmember, its like 1/4 steel and had a pristine black powder coating on it. Top notch stuff!!

The "odd routes" are actually logical routes made by the shipping company, not rustys.
