All of them will give you tie rod roll which will result in sloppy steering at the wheel. The higher your lift, the more noticeable it will be.

Hmm that's not good! How can I fix this problem? I know jrc has some anti role spacers to help this issue. http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1TNSTBSH&Category_Code=S6

The poly bushings are supposed to fix some or most of that. The thing is that these tie rod ends being used on the passenger side are not custom ones, they are just stock parts with custom rods in between. I have seen some others with a different design and I am trying to remember where. Must be early old timers

Don't forget about this one, I've heard good things about it.http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-TOTKS&Category_Code=XST

That is another design that I think is a good one as long as the spherical joints don't wear from grit. If I was to run that, I would get some dust covers for tie rod ends and use then on the joints with lots of grease.

I had my jeep for a year and the Heims rod ends are three years old. There is no slop at all.
