Tie rod, yes cancel that RC ****. Get a V8 ZJ tie rod.

you can do what you want man! we understand people don't have time/money for certain things. we're just giving you a heads up. you can always pick up a brand new MOOG zj tie rod from o'reilly and bolt it up

it still uses the stock tie rod ends. so basically, you're moving the weak point from bending the rod to shearing off your ends. not very likely but for the money it's much smarter to grab a zj tie rod. I've put massive amounts of load onto my zj tie rod from pushing myself off of rocks to rolling my jeep and putting big strain on my front axle. zj tie rod still good

idk I've never seen anyone try to upgrade an RC product. but as far as fitting a bigger end in there, no I don't see how you could.
I've never tried their track bar. RC just isn't known for having quality products. like I said, google some RC reviews and decide for yourself
here's a guy on this forum who just posted a thread about already having problems with his brand new RC track bar
