Well after 172k I think its about time I replaced my factory steering parts (just did the ball joints 2k ago wit TRW). Here are some options I have found. Anyone have any experiecne with these?

1. Moog replacement parts
2. Currie Enterprises replacement. Here is a install article: http://www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/currie_steering/index.asp
3. Rock Stomper replacements. http://www.rockstomper.com/catalog/steering/rockrods/rockrod.htm The site doesnt list or say they have a Dodge replacement but they do make rods for Jeeps, but require them to upgrade to a dodge tie rod end, so I think they could make one to fit my Dana 44.

I have a 5" lift with 36" tires, it seems like every year I have to replace one or more pieces. I have used trw which is comparable to moog. Please let me know what you find out.

What about using the RockStomper bars with heim-joints instead of rod-ends. That should greatly increase the strengh of the ends, shouldn't it?

I would think so Aaron. But then you'd have to modify your steering knuckle by taking out the taper so a bolt doesnt wobble in there. Not a biggie but it makes going back to a 'stock' setup a problem.

The hiem joints also give you more flex right?

Not being used as tie rod ends. I dont think it would matter.
