Re: fabtech tie rods
The reason Fabtech won't endorse their tie rods for H2's is because the inner rubber boot will only clear the sway bar by about 1/8 inch in a full lock turn. The boot can actually be torn when turning hard while off-roading. Dozens of H2 owners run Fabtech's with no problems however.
This pic tells the story:
The cure for this situation is to replace the sway bar links with Cognito sway bar links. They're longer than OEM and will give about 3/4" clearance:
Interesting thread on Fabtech vs. Cognito tie rods <Here>.
