I'm looking at upgrading my 2006 rubicon steering. I was going to do the ZJ steering upgrade which would give me a much beefier tie rod, TRE, new steering strabilizer, and adjusting sleeve, all for about 180 bucks.

But this leaves the drag link alone. How can I get a beefier drag link and associated components? Does it need to be upgraded? Does anyone sell/make an upgraded draglink for a wrangler?

I'm not up to needing one ton steering but I want something better than oem.

TIA.
 
We used the V8 ZJ Tierod and draglink, got them both for $17 at pull a part. The draglink is a bit beefier and should work on a TJ the same as it does for us, definately have an alignment done after installing. (we did a basic one in the parking lot and its been fine so far)
 
I have a jks adjustable tracbar upfront, Im wondering if that would have a problem with the rustys, as their install says they require a new bolt in the tracbar. Also was it rustys or another brand that had a bad rep for failures or was that from people running it when 1 ton steering was needed?

I never thought about pull a part. I could get the tie rod and drag link and just get new TREs. (one on each end lh and rh) right?
