These Tie Rod Assemblies provide virtually 1-ton strength with factory tapered ends, so no modification is required. The tube is 1.25" OD SAE steel with .25" wall thickness. This is the perfect solution for preventing bent tie rod tubes from off roading with larger tires. Complete kits with dust shields, castle nuts, cotter pins, jamb nuts and zerk fittings.

NOTE:
With any lift over 2” a drop pitman is recommended.
This kit has been designed to help keep steering links as close to level as possible, but a drop pitman arm may be required to assist in keeping links closer to parallel on lifted vehicles. Because of how the drag link attaches to the passenger side tie-rod slight rotation of the steering linkage (twisting up and down) may be visible when steering wheel is cycled. This will be exaggerated on vehicles with taller lifts as the drag link will want to push down or up, as well as side to side, during its range of movement (This is considered NORMAL).
It is highly recommended that if any modifications have been made to your vehicle that a qualified 4wd shop and or alignment expert be consulted for final adjustments.
Vehicles lifted over 6” may experience difficulty with alignments.
