Can anyone id this tie rod? This new to me 2008 JKU Rubicon has had a bunch of stuff done to it, such as an AEV Dualsport 3.5" lift with high steer kit, AEV bumpers and winch, a couple lights, etc. The problem I'm running into is that the tie rod ends are pretty worn and I'd like to replace them but I'm not sure what parts I'll need. The drag link it from the AEV kit, but I can't find any markings or labels on the tie rod. Any help would be appreciated.

Per AEV's website I didn't see any tie rods offered in the Dualsport kit. your tie rods could be stock ones and they are easily replaced. You can go with stock or find aftermarket ones.

Yes, I realize the AEV kit doesn't come with a tie rod, but this seems to be an aftermarket addition. I'm just trying to figure out which one so I buy the right stuff. Thanks for the reply.

99% sure thats the stock tie rod. Looks exactly what i had on my Rubicon.
I would suggest just replacing the whole tie rod. You will only spend a little more, but can have a nice upgrade. Doetsch offers a great aluminum 1 ton kit that i run on my Jeep. 10/10 recommend
