How much are the Tie-rod sleeves from S.D.??? Will they fit over Moogs, or, just the factory tie-rods?

Yes, the tie rods are a weak link.....sad to say. For stock applications, they're fine. But, if you're running big tires, or offroading a lot, or you like to drag race (4x4 boosted launches) you should buy a set. I myself need to order some.....(yeah, I know, I know :rolleyes: ) Hey, SD, how'd ya like that plug? :lol: Unpaid endorsement, naturally.

It was fun until the truck wouldn't steer or stop, just kept sliding to the right.Scary. After I get the alignment, I will have spent twice what the sleeves cost. gunbunny 03-24-2005, 03:18 AM What do you think of this? http://picam.modularmn12.us:81/pictures/05lly2500hd/tierod.bmp Take a BFH to it.....it will be okay.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif Super Diesel 03-25-2005, 05:11 PM They are very weak there. I have had folks tell me about how they were 4WDin through a muddy field and bent them. Another one hit a curb at a bad angle and bent it:eek: ! I tested and developed them on my 4D 4WD doolie on the track and pulling huge contractors dumpsters across fields (that was interesting). I have dumped some massive torque to them in launches (you wouldn't believe how much), and have not had any failures. I am very proude to be apart of making these trucks just a little better. Thanks to all who have supported this effort. All you great folks are who make this possible. I just can't say "THANK YOU" enough. TheBac 03-26-2005, 07:44 AM They are very weak there.
