Don't get the rustys trackbar it will break if you wheel alot, go with a ironrock offroad or rough country trackbar there adjustable and close to the same price. Also yes I would replace the tie rod with a bigger one iron rock offroad or rough country also has them and stronger IMO

There is no real need to replace the tie rod, just that stock tie rods are weak. I'd suggest a zj tie rod upgrade if you're on a budget.

Any trackbar that has a double-shear end on the frame side (which usually includes a new mounting bracket) is what you will want to go with. The single-shear (factory style) variants, no matter who manufactures it, is a ****-poor design. Just my $.02.
