If you're not wheeling I wouldn't worry about tie rods too much. I snapped one once, but I was on a pretty treacherous trail that required a lot of articulating over large rocks. When you start putting all that weight on the front wheels that's when those tie rods just can't hang.
If you do decide to upgrade them though...definitely go with DMax's Kryptonite; and stay away from the Cognito rods (I only got two years out of them and they got all loosy goosey).

I started with just the Truxxx keys and 37s. By the time the truck measured level by cracking the bars with the new keys it road like sh!t. A month later I went with the Cognito UCA Leveling Kit and the longer Bilstein/Cognito shocks (and some of the pitman/idler supports)...the difference was incredible. The ride was great.
