I'm at 3.5 inches and don't plan on going any bigger anytime soon. Will that tierod style end hold up?

The one I got with my 4.5'' RC lift was garbage. Couldn't even get it to line up without binding on the axle side mount.

Ended up going with Iron Rock Offroad's double sheer and I'll never look back. Yes it is more expensive, but odds are I'll never have to replace it either.

I had this one, I'm still using it, but have swapped the tie rod out for a 9/16 heim...much better that way.
