Effectively, you'll just be selling the tie rod sleeve and keeping the drag link and Currie tie rod ends, correct? Would the Currie tie rod sleeve be a huge improvement over the factory one? Or, the ZJ tie rod? I'm genuinely asking. Not trying to be a dingus. My guess is the Currie sleeve would be a definite strength improvement both ways.Or if you wanna save a few bucks on a "gently used" Currie tie rod Instead, hang out here for a couple weeks.

Thank you! I didn't notice that. I added it. It sure isn't cheap if you go all new, especially through Currie/RockJock. The full setup is cheaper elsewhere, or best yet - used.“Puts you at $707 + tax and shipping all in.”
Most people would probably also need a new steering stabilizer bracket for the larger 1-1/4” tie rod

That was enough to convince me to order the complete Currectlync in addition to the the tie rod from BMB .

The Currie/RockJock and BMB tie rod and C/RJ drag link are 1.25".I never tried on my ZJ setup, but since the TREs fit the knuckle without changes my guess is yes - they should fit the factory drag link. I never took a picture of them side by side, but the ZJ was a big improvement due to being solid - the Currie (and BMB) tie rod is both solid and larger (I think by 1/4" diameter).
Did the taper for the TRE change? I don't remember the thickness of the ZJ setup, but I think both the drag link and tie rod are 1".The Currie/RockJock and BMB tie rod and C/RJ drag link are 1.25".

Keep the BMB tie rod in the box with the hope of "collector item status" some day.Considering the “$750 all in” plus shipping and tax , I found it better for me to get the Full Currectlync on Amazon for $580 with free shipping and ordered the heat treated tie rod from BMB for $185 plus shipping . That gives me a Rock Jock Currectlync tie rod for free . Even though I’ll probably never use it . Maybe I’ll just sell it ???
Kind of what I am thinking. I haven’t bent this bar yet. I only got a couple of trips on the Currie steering setup. But my lips are kind of chapped. Some chapstick would be nice!Keep the BMB tie rod in the box with the hope of "collector item status" some day.
Yeah, that's how many of us justify the next purchase from The Wizard. Well, I'm all out of chapstick, so...Kind of what I am thinking. I haven’t bent this bar yet. I only got a couple of trips on the Currie steering setup. But my lips are kind of chapped. Some chapstick would be nice!
Ya'll do know that I don't charge for the lip balm and I've never not sent any out to anyone who asked for it, right?Yeah, that's how many of us justify the next purchase from The Wizard. Well, I'm all out of chapstick, so...
