Moog is a decent brand from my experiences. Haven't used a TJ setup but I have used a ZJ setup. Was good for a stock upgrade but with 6" lift I assume you have larger tires and TBH it still is a lot of weight hanging out at the ends and there still may be some slop in the steering overall.

I put MOOG tie rods on my truck about two months ago and I liked the quality of the parts.
I was quoted 1250.00 for ONLY TIE RODS. This chick went on you tube and watched fcp euro put tie rods on my exact 09 xc90, guess who did the job herself for $100 (moog tie rods) ME .
Moog is my shops go to. Never had issues with tie rods from them.
Pro tip get moog or comprable parts. The cheap stuff uses nylon to hold in the ball socket like tie rods. Moog uses brass, or atleast used to.
Literally anything but moog. Moog hasn't been good for a long time.
Unfortunate but I also have to poop on Moog parts. Back in my first couple of vehicles they were the absolute best 100,000 kilometer parts on the market... They got sold a long while back and use plastic and chinesium instead of American steel and bearings in most half their parts now..... Put in a moog tie rod and it didn't even last me 10,000 km in my most recent repairs...
I've used Moog "problem solver" ones. Lately Moog quality hasn't been what I remember.
I used moog on my old car, worked great.
I went this moog and am pl very happy with them.
