anyone using the tie rod sleeves and/or center link from crankitup diesel? i need to get both but 600 bucks from ppe is pretty much the cheapest ive found until crankitup, i know ppe's are stainless though and thats the only thing i can think of for the price difference...but its still another 240 bucks difference is it really worth that?:confused:

I've got both, I've pulled the hell out of the truck and haven't had a problem yet. All in all it's a very good product. I'd recommend them.

I've handled both and crank it up's were beefier and much heavier than the ppe ones I use. Are you sure your reading the price right? I dont think they are that much from ppe. I got the sleeves from kyle over at crank it up for 85 I think.

I think he is asking about tie rod sleeves AND a centerlink. The centerlink's arent cheap.

I dont have a centerlink, so I cant offer any comparisions. I bought my sleeves from Brayden when we upgraded the Allison and they seem plenty beefy.

I have the crank it up sleaves and they are very beefy just make sure you use lots of never seez on the inside so they do not rust to the tie rods because they are not stainless. They have served me well especialy at the prebel co fair pull. I didn't have the center link straped right and the toe in was so bad that both tires were rubbing on the sway bar but no carnage!
