Default drag link problem

I recently bought my first xj it's a 99 with a 6" lift (I believe). When looking over the front end I saw that the tie rod end on the drank link is barley has 3 threads into the knuckle and the knuckle is barley threaded onto the drag link itself. Is there a solution to this problem it does have a drop pitman arm already

Buy new steering made for that size life is your best and safest option.

First off, welcome to the forum. Second, Currie has a heavy duty steering upgrade. Not sure if they make one for that much lift but it is definitely an improvement over stock

Yeah straight bolt in will be currie other kits you need to ream out the knuckle and pitman arm.Its not hard to do but if you never done anything like that i would let a pro do it or use the currie kit.
