Going with RE everything seems like the way to go. JKS might be a good option too but I think I will stick with RE.

Got mine from this Attachment 398824
Bought a parts jeep and robbed the rear springs, the track bar, the track bar brace, the track bar bracket, and the steering box brace. I €™m 99% sure that €™s the track bar I have. I had to buy a rebuild kit for mine since the bushings were worn out and I thought that €™s the one I used.

Easy to tell when you get your hands on it. Jack it up, mark the tire, and slowly spin it around one revolution while counting how many times the driveline spins around the same point you marked on it. You might get lucky.

Actually yours looks like it has had some mods done too it already? If so it may have been regeared already. Easy to tell when you get your hands on it.

Remember... this was a junkyard truck. Free "exchange parts" if they were energetic enough to do it.

You are 100% right I'm chopping at the bit to get my hands dirty. I love this stuff and can't wait to get home not only to spend some quality time with my wife and kids after being gone for 6 months but to also pick up my Jeep and bring her back to life.

That is why I'm on here to ask the million dumb questions now before I get home and dive into something I have no idea what I'm doing. You guys all have been a great help so far, thank you!

Tie rod, drag link, what?
i’ve bought a lifted XJ and it was wrecked from the driver’s side quite drastically. This is my first jeep that is lifted and 4X4 so I don’t know what to do exactly. I repaired the jeep slowly but the one thing I noticed was the drag link(?) is small. I haven’t put the jeep on the road because I fear that this will become loose. It looks like the tie rod is either too short or the drag link (marked in red) is short. The thing that is marked in blue seems to be in bad shape as well. I searched everywhere for answers and I could not find any.
