Thanks for the info Crazy Jerry. Thuren has talked about the rubber bushings in the 19+ track bar being improved. As for the Tie Rod, there seems to be a general consensus between Thuren and Carli that the 19+ oem tie rod is on par with the Synergy tie rod for off road applications runner 37+ tires. Not sure if that is chalked up to the mounts, bushings, or the actual bar.

As an update, I decided to go with the OEM tie rod and upgrade my steering stabilizer to the Fox ATS. The hope is the Fox ATS preserves the other steering components into high mileage.

these trucks arent like the new fords that practically demand dual steering stabilizers on day one but do as you wish :anitoof:. honestly i dont see how that fox will make anything last longer. factory ss isnt a nice cnc machined aliminum piece but it works quit well for what it is. throwing it away right out of the gate makes no sense to me. maybe you 'heard' they was no good and jumped the gun based on lousy information

You’re getting the tie rod and the drag link confused.

Mine has 17,000 miles on it and a pretty decent amount of of off-roading. With the 37s I can feel alot more feedback and a slight pull to the right. Fox TS isn't a dual stabilizer, single tube with a through shaft that can damp from either side.
