Here is the link http://bulletproofsteering.com/gmifstierod.html this guy is not a bullsh!ter, he defineitly know's what he is talking about. The price is not too bad, if you had to replace tierods, tierod ends on both sides anyways. The rod ends are not your typical joe schmo deal, they are specifically designed for this application. when I seen you have to drill out the knuckle, that made me a bit nervous, but I talked to him, and a simple adaptor can be made to keep the tapered hole in the knuckle. He does not sell this adaptor anymore, he said there was no demand for them. btw his tests show that strength is not any issue, by drilling it out, the bad part, you can never then go back to the stock (junk) setup.
I am not promoting or advertizing this, I talked to the guy for awhile, and wanted to throw another option out there.

Fabtech's stuff is still relatively new, and I'll bet more products will become available as time goes by. That same time factor will show which products is better.

I chose the Fabtech stuff because it came as a complete (except for idler support bracket) steering kit. After seeing it all in person and having it in the truck for a bit, I am not disappointed in the slightest.

But I always say, competition is good for business and the consumer as well.

I like that the ends of the bulletproof stuff are hiem joints (hope I spelt that rite).
