Installed center link and tie rod sleevs.

[red1977]

I installed my all season diesel center link support bracket today and my tie rod sleevs. It was a very easy install on both parts. After install I tried a 4 hi 10 lbs boost launch. It came out of the hole very straight and no shaking of the steering wheel. The center link has no effect on my turning that I notice. I do need to get to the track and when I do I will give feed back on it. Here are a few pics.

Where does the support bolt to? Does it rub on the front diff for the support? Will it work with the cognito steering kit? Was lookin at this before but not much info on it. Would like to get this for mine but need alittle more info.

I need to do something to mine,got scarey on ice last year pulling a 28ft snowmobile trailer loaded down the the front end started a wicked dance at 70 in 4wd when the front end started to slip.the truck was more stable in 2wd then 4wd

Wish i could have seen this before you started to see where the wholes were so i can imagine how it was bolted in

Btw where did you get them and mind if i ask how much the cost?

The bracket is really easy to install it two bolts that hold it in place. You pull the bolts off that hold the center link to the pitman arm and the idler arm slide the bracket on were the bolts go then put the bolts back on. Didn't take very long I did have the truck on jack stands and wheels off cause I did my tie rod sleeves at the same time.

This is the link for the bracket it was like 150 delivered and was at my house in a few days of ordering it.

Awsome. Thanks for the info. How many miles do u have on it now? Feel an improvement in all round driving? I will have to call tony and c what he's says about the brace with the cognito kit. Keep me posted on what u think of it. Thanks again.

Been running one since last fall and it was a great buy. Before the brace the truck didn't launch well at all and now it's perfect everytime. Install couldn't be any easier and takes no time at all to do.

don't have very many miles on it but launching, it does awesome. I will keep you up dated the driving so far is fine don't notice any thing different with it.

I have tony's centerlink brace and steel sleeves. The brace helped my daily driving for sure, less feedback from the road.

I tried a small launch but didn't let my t-bars down. Ill have to play with it later, been to busy. Meaning to drop my truck eventually.

Hooked to a sled over the weekend and the bracket worked awesome. I was not fighting the steering at all. My friends said it barley had any toe in at all and looked good. I'm very happy with tony's product.
