Default Broken Tie rod end??

So getting ready to leave work today and broke the left outer tie rod clean off, well good thing it was in the parking lot, anyway question is since it is lifted an so on if I do not have the offset tie rods should I put them on? and is there someone making a heavy duty set up to bolt in place of factory? would like this issue to not happen again.

Well since nobody replied or commented I went ahead and removed the straight tie rods and installed the offset ones tie rod angles are much better and aligned perfectly,

Thanks. Only post that mentions installing offset tie rods vs straight on an aftermarket lift kit. (Which is what I'm doing lol) several posts mention them being used on Zr2 trims but I wasn't sure if it was more so specific to the zr2 trim as opposed to lift kits in general.
