Apex Chassis Tie Rod and Drag Link Kit

Anyone running this kit? I think the 2019+ drag link isn’t as much of an issue as the 2014-2018 version, and I don’t really have any complaints about the steering currently…but if something were to fail I’d consider upgrading.
Obviously diameter isn’t everything, but stock drag link is 1.50” / apex 1.75”, stock tie rod 2.0” / apex 2.25”
I’d be curious to see the stock end links side by side compared…

Stock tie rods/drag links for reference

Interesting kit. I just wonder if it may have the same issues as the 18 and previous style with the two jam nuts? I don't claim to know the reason behind the previous style drag link nuts loosening but I'd imagine it was some combination of twin jam nuts coupled with the fact the drag link likes to rotate forward/the stresses on it. The single adjuster nut with clamp style doesn't seem to have that problem.

I'm just spitballing so don't take what I say as absolute truth. Just thinking out loud. Kit looks beefy though.
 
yah that's pretty steep. I'll stay on 37's with the factory rods and ends. I'll keep it at 85mph.
 
I don't personally intend to switch my OEM setup, unless I somehow damage it. It's nice to have an alternative option to the Synergy kit.
