As seen in the pict below..
Started as a rustys steering system. Then added/welded a piece of 1x1 angle to the front of the tie rod for much added strength. the angle faces forward like a point on the tie rod. Then since the original setup didnt allow enough droop without binding on my 6-7" of lift, I redid the drag link. The drag link is a 1" at the tie rod stepping up to 1.5" and then 1.75". All of the tube is .120 DOM and is sleeved all the way up. The drag link is stronger then prolly 99% of the control arms out there. Then at the top of the drag link there is a HUGE 1.25" FK hiem that is like new. This allowed absolutly no binding ever with a taller lift and lots of droop.
Also included is the drilled drop pitman arm.
This setup never once created any whobble. Also no bump steer. It has all good ends on them and are easy to replace if ever needed. They are standard dodge 1/2 tin stuff, rusty's says. Autozone or such has them for about 20-25$ if ever needed.
The only issue I ever had was the tie rod ends coming loose. so I tacked the jam nut to the end.
everything (Tie rod w/ends, drag link with end and 100$ hiem, and 2" drop pitman arm drilled for the hiem, and the high missalignment joints for the hiem). nothing is damaged.
