Bent my tie rod while wheeling and have to replace it. Was thinking of the Rock Krawler mainly because I already have their suspension and the price tag. Also found the Currie but its way out of my price range.
Any other recommendations?

Bent my tie rod last March. It's still on my rig with NO problems what so ever. Jeep drives straight as an arrow. Only time I adjust the wheel is when I installed a new track bar. I'm riding the bent rod till it falls off!

LOL!! I hear ya. So long as you can still adjust your toe-in to where it needs to be, there's no real reason to replace your tie-rod even if it's bent. In fact, if you have a shop press, you can use one to kinda straighten it out. At least, that's what I've done with the factory tie rod that I still have on my 2012 JK. 70,000+ miles later and a TON of trails and I still haven't been able to justify getting a replacement... yet
Now you got me thinking of holding off. Maybe wait till it gets banged some more. I definitely don't wheel as hard as Eddie...not even close.
Yea I stuck a crow bar in there and bent it back SOME, but I can still make all necessary adjustmentsLOL!! I hear ya.

Ouch that's a serious bend holy hell lol I just recently replaced my tie rod I went with synergy and have to say I'm very impressed it's crazy strong very beefy and with larger tie rod ends much more durable no complaints at all
I don't always wheel , but when I do I keep it tight......... Stay dirty my friends.
I have the Synergy and have to say it is nice and really nice if you have to adjust it. If your set on RK go for it not a bad one either.
Once installed properly, why would you have to adjust it?
I am heavy on the right foot and roads in Hawaii are hell between the fast driving and rocks on the trails I have had to get things adjusted a few times.
