Looks like Camburg's setup only has heims on the inners. I would want both ends as you are doing if I was going to bother with it.

Kragen 7" hids with internal ballast, and yes they are worth it.

I have yet to hear bad things about the Kragen HIDs. Looks like they beat the heck outta the hid retros in Hellas and stuff.

They are MUCH stronger than the factory tie rods and will give more articulation before binding.

I know it won't be cheap, but I am tired of tearing up inner and outer TREs. It sucks when I stuff my tire up against a rock and have to worry about breaking it. Meh, I might just hold off though and lose the IFS all together. Who knows what I'll do. haha

Camburg already sells a kit so I doubt too many people would buy yours

Except you still retain the stock outer, which is the whole point of this. Camburg sells an inner replacement, this is an entire tie rod replacement.

Also replacing my rack, picking it up tomorrow morning and then I get to start tearing apart the truck. Also going to be relocating my brake lines, redoing my limit straps and figuring out my new bump stops.
