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>.

I would contact Phil at trailduty.com. He's a moderator at w-w-w-.h-u-m-m-e-r-x-c-l-u-b-.c-o-m (take out the dashes), he's from the UK and I think he would help you out. If your a member over there, you could PM him directly, or just call the phone number on the Trailduty website and ask for Phil. Tell 'em SummitUp sent you!
