Hey everyone, long time follower. First time poster! I need new tie rod ends, both sides are the same. I know they are offset but I am having trouble figuring out which ones I need to order. Mine are bad. Any help would be appreciated. I am capable of replacing them myself, I just need help with I.D.

awesome, thank you so much. i will check!

It looks like you have a WJ knuckle swap on your XJ. Typically people will use the GM tie rod ends on the new steering linkage. It look like a similar set up on my 99XJ. I did the same knuckle swap and those offset TRE's look like what I used. I can't be 100% sure from the pictures, but I think those are them.

Keep us posted as to what you find.
 
I used a GM set from Ruff Stuff about 10 years back. The covers are still good. I used a set from a vendor off of EBay. They started cracking with in a year or two. So, get GMs. And the 1-Ton GM cross over steering is so nice. I use a steering stabilizer on mine. Yet, there isn't really a need to. I have run without one just fine.
 
Just replaced it, it works great. Just need to replace my drag link ends now. The drag link end that attaches to the knuckle, that's just a normal tie rod end right? And I only need a pitman arm end for the other side, right?
