Stock steering after 6" lift. the long passenger side inner tie rod was slightly bent but not easily seen in the picture. I wanted to do a Tie Rod End flip to help straighten my steering out after the lift. Tie Rods were also worn out. Figuered it was a perfect time to upgrade the steering.

On the floor is the new bigger tie rods. they definatly are quite ticker than stock so they shouldnt bend nearly as easy.

I wont cover how to remove the tie rods. its pretty easy jsut to bang them out with a hammer once the nut is removed. the stud going into the pitman arm can be very difficult and best bet is a pickel fork. i didnt have a one with me so i used a bit adjsutable wrench as one.
