You can replace the tie rod end that's on the frame end if it's the stock one or call RC and get a replacement end. I think you can use a moog joint on theirs as well but don't know the part number.

i agree with atmos. and dont waste your money on a RC track bar either. throw in the extra $80 and get a IRO unit.

Definitely aftermarket trackbar. IF the person who is interested in my RE1600, doesn't get back to me soon, It will be available.
If you go the route on brand new, I suggest the IRO trackbar/mount from DBO.

yes, you need a drop bracket. there's a lot of things you can save money on when building a jeep. this is not one of those things
as nate00 said, don't waste any more money on RC products. there's so many better companies out there for just a little more dinero. this is one of those times where spending more money will pay off later

Not to be a thread thief but with a 3in lift do I need a new Track bar and DPA as well? Jeep still drives fine just seems the bumps come through the steering wheel a bit more.
