Thinking about going heavy duty steering rods
As in the title, I am thinking about upgrading my steering rods because i have 2 tie rods starting to let go and i also have 32x11.50 tires with a 4 inch lift which i plan on going even bigger after my tires wear out, and i was wondering if it would be a good idea to just spend the extra money to get all new steering rods from like jcr maybe they are only like 20 miles away so i could just run and grab them one day...just looking for opinions

I have searched it, but i think an over the knuckle setup would be kind of nice...since im going to prolly be running 35s before too long too with a 6.5 inch LA, id like to upgrade it to something like that 1 ton steering upgrade more then just the grand cherokee upgrade...just seeing if people like theres or if they would recommend something else before i go and spend 315 bucks, or if i just replace it with stock for now...i dont rock crawl or anything i just play in trails and stuff more then anything

If you're talking about your tie rod then I'd just go out to a JY and grab a grand v8 upgrade, I plan on doing that. From what I've read the most you'll have to do besides getting on is buying a new TRE if the used one is too worn out from the JY.

I did a high steer Tera knuckle.
For the tie rod I did Al, best choice ever.
I have 4 DOM tie rods that look like pretzels.
I have had my Al tie rod for 6 years.
That 7071 Al just bounces back.
