Just lifted the Jeep this week and surprise all kinds of stuff is wrong now
4.5" upper and lower control new track bar up front and full leaf in the rear. Now to upgrade my tie rod. What year does the zj have the v8? And is the v8's the only ones with the heavier tie rod? I can get a heavy duty one for $116 but it is still hollow at 1/4" wall. Pretty beefy but need this done the cheapest way. I have blown my budget. I have to replace tie rod end and do an alignment anyway and may as we'll knock this out.

 

You're safe with the 98 ZJ V8. ZJ linkage list:

1x DS1312
2x ES3096L
1x DS1238
2x ES2079S

 

And this should bolt up to my drag link? I have already purchased the end and the shock for this.

 

Mr. Powderfinger thank you. Just ordered what I needed on eBay. All for 47 buck too. I already installed new drag link end and stabilizer shock, so I should be good to go.
