Recommendations on suspension improvement priority

I bent the Currie tie rod.

I likely have my Currie tie rod (Blaine installed a BMB when doing the tie-rod flip). It was like new.

LMK if you want me to look for it. Most of my stuff here in AZ is either in a covered wooden crate or in an RV that’s why I sound disorganized lol.

Ok, well just ran into another wall. Due to the 5/8" bolt, the PO had to drill out the knuckles and pitman. Dang it.

Some luck-- a local is selling his OEM knuckles, pitman, and steering linkage for a great price. Going to check them out this weekend. Thanks again!

You can use a tapered insert to correct the issue. https://www.tmrcustoms.com/products/tie-rod-end-inserts-jeep-taper-tj-lj-xj-zj-mj

I'm floored. The Ranchos came in and installed them during lunch break. They solved 90% of my drivability issues.
