I'd go with moog TREs, however, I'd probably just go ahead and upgrade the steering if you're already looking at plopping down almost $100 on TREs.

Is your jeep lifted?

What kind of wheeling do you do?

If your not lifted moog brand tie rod ends if your lifted look in to a aftermarket steering kit for it.

If no wheeling, OEM stuff is fine. No need to get HD stuff.

i would have thought H/D parts would last longer and since made better also possibly give some better performance...and once i get my 3 1/2 lift and 33 inch tires even without hardcore wheeling dont i have to beef things up anyways???

Until you've lifted your rig, grab replacement steering/tie-rods from the JY.

After you've lifted it, get this:
