Default Jeep Box Tie Rod Question

When installing the Jeep box, the outer tie rod ends can go into the inner or outer Steering hub hole...which should be used?
Has anyone tried both to see which is best?

??? What do you mean, with the jeep box you retain the original center link, either manual or assisted w/ a rigged control valve.
The tie rods remain stock as you retain the stock centerlink. You therefore also use the hole for the power steering option (since the box is assisted), the front most hole is the one to use but you can use the other one for quicker steering but it could give an over assisted feeling. just try both and use what you like best.

The inner holes were used for power steering cars.
The outer holes were used for manuel steering cars.

The inner holes well give you quicker steering. You can use either.

Yes, the inner was apparently for PS and outer for manual....But I'm wanting to know if any of the folks who upgraded to the Jeep box tried them both. Given the ratio of the Jeep box, I'm not sure which makes most sense.
