Rustys HD tie rod?
well i bought this http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=ste thinking it would just bolt right up, but was told by my local shop that it will over power and break the oem drag link.
so what drag link do i need to be able to finally run my 100$ tie rod?
i dont want to be out $ and stuck with my oem broken tie rod

thats what i figured..... i know its a relatively easy install. but i just want a second opinion, its gonna be fine right? not gonna over torque my oem drag link or anything?
my front end right now consist of:
rc hd steering stabilizer
rustys steering box brace
jk sway bar discos
drop pitman arm
oem everything else, reason why i need to replace the tie rod is because my ends are about done, every single bump i go over the bushings make loud popping noises.
and well, lets just face it. the oem tie rod is just to weak.

No, youll be fine, a track bar is designed to keep your axle centered underneath your jeep. The OEM Drag link is solid steel, yes they still do bend, but they are stronger than you think.
