Incredibly heavy duty, tightened up my steering. Worth the investment.
Bolted right up on my 07 JK 2-door with 2-1/2" Teraflex lift - no issues. Extremely well built and heavy duty. Rod ends are massive and seal well. The aluminum steering stabilizer clamp is included - don't buy one separately. Nice to have grease zerks on bottom of each rod end. Good instructions. Paint looks good (lighting in my photos is deceptively bad).Only downside so far is the grease zerk on the drag link rod end on knuckle (passenger) side is not accessible when the tie rod is installed - argh. They seem to be pretty well greased from factory but I haven't pulled the passenger tie rod end yet to hit that drag link grease zerk yet.I drove a few miles of twisty backroads but haven't gotten it aligned (still have a few toys to install). Haven't wheeled yet but it looks and feels like it can take lots of abuse.Installation: follow the videos but heres a rundown with a few tips. Put front axle on jackstands, pull wheels, remove tie rod and then drag link. Turn steering wheel all the way passenger so you can get the nut off the rod end of the pitman arm. I could not get a puller in there so i had to use a pickle fork. Set old and new tie rods and drag links next to eack other, measure and set length on the new TF parts. Having 2 people helps b/c again, the rod ends are heavy. Straighten your hups / rotors then install the drag link (and grease that zerk!) followed by the tie rod. Put wheels on, lower to ground and torque everything.Drive forward and back a couple times to get close to ride height and tires straight. Adjust toe-in (about 1/4 to 3/8" depending on tire size). Verify tires are straight, then adjust the sleeve on the drag link to center your steering wheel. Double check torque on everything. Then get it to the alignment shop!This kit was 2x the price of some others, slightly less than Steer Smarts Yeti, but I'm glad I went with the TF. Good investment, with rebuilbable rod ends that still cost 1/3 what the Yeti's do (if you happened to break either one).

Buy it. Stop thinking about it.
I installed both tie rod and drag link my self. Only problem was getting the drag link off the pitman arm. After installing definitely take your wrangler for an alignment and balance your tires also. The steering feels more stable with less play. Definitely more control than the flimsy stock parts. Also if you're lifted get an adjustable front and rear track bar to center your axle. This is a must if your looking to really dial in your alignment.

Teraflex...it works.
Love this upgrade. Caught a case of the death wobble and replaced most of my steering components (overkill). I elected to go with Teraflex for the increased strength and ability to adjust preload on the ends. Only negative is that preloads are supposed to be set at the factory but my drag link ends we’re both loose. Make sure to check those after install then enjoy the improved handling and peace of mind over the flimsy stock components.

Good price for the right price!!
I recently just purchase the skyjacker dual stabilizer for my JK and so far I love it. The installation was very easy to do. Also a month ago I purchase a new Tereflex drag link and tie rod end since I needed an alignment so I went with heavy duty bars. That did make some complications holding down the stabilizers on the ends since the bar was too think for the brackets and flat mount bracket were too small so I have to improvised and bought these light bar brackets which hold it down very good. So far so good for me! Great products overall! It rides very smooth on my 35” tires! Good on high way!

Terrible JUNK parts.
These are a waste of money. Save your self a headache and shop for another brand. The main tube is hollow for starters. All the joints are adjustable, I thought this was a nice feature. But when you adjust them as directed in the instructions the joints become so tight you can't hardly turn the wheel, and fight to keep the jeep on the road. If you loosen them up just so slightly to free them up a bit then they are sloppy and can't hold the wheels straight. The tiny set screws they use 5mmx.8 strip out easy 2.5mm allen. So after weeks of fighting the TF steering tie rod, drag link and the TF knuckle ball joints, I removed all the parts and put in a different brand parts. So far so good. I disassembled the TF joints to find metal on metal surfaces that had already grooved and was binding even at a fraction of what the instructions say to set them at. The seller will not do anything to rectify the situation. Buyer beware these are JUNK. So now I have some new wall ornaments in my shop.

Could have been an easy replacment if not for the steering stabilzer.
Purchased for 2008 JKU Rubicon after putting 33 inche tires and lift on the jeep. After getting the new set up as close as possible to the length of the old I took off they went on pretty darn easy. I watched a youtube prior to installation and the only surprise I had was relocating the steering stablizer. The instructions state to remove and replace the sleeves from both sides of the stabilizer. My problem was that I have a Bilstein Stabilizer and the sleeves are bonded in to the bushing. Fortunately my neighbor had a press and even then that took us nearly 30 minutes just to press the old sleeves out trying everything we could find to use. Overall the job took about 2 1/2 hours but would have been a breeze if the steering stabilizer had been easier.
