LLY: Temporary Tie Rod sleeves

[cstephens93]

Im finding so many conflicting opinions haha I was going to buy the sleeves tonight, but now I cant decide between them or the rare parts

I did the rare parts..... Stock with sleeves doesn't even compare.

Wolf, ignore that post i made in your older thread.

Did you go with a centerlink upgrade or anything?

Yeah, went that route last time but still got stuff packed down in the sleeve around the threads which made it a pain anyways. Just seemed like for $300 I'll save myself two plus hours on the alignment rack.

I'm going with the dhd brace. Just got my slicks the other day, hopefully heading to track in a few weeks.

Sweet. How do your 4wd launches feel with the rare parts? Any difference or just the peace of mind knowing they wont snap?

Cognito pitman/idler support w/ the ATP sleeves I used to have and t-bars dropped so that the cv's are straight or negative launched like a solid axle truck.

What's your guys opinion on bullet proof tie rods with heim joints? They look pretty stout. But my Tuff country sleeves have a tiny gap between it and the tie rod, and I haven't had a seizing issue yet.

I anti seized the crap outta my sleeves when I put them on. I will upgrade to rare/kryptonite when I have to replace the rods again though just because I do a lot of racing. I don't take my truck off-roading.

That's pretty much the same reason I switched. My trucks retired from the street as my daily driver now and drag radials are expensive to replace just from crappy alignment wear.

I dont even plan to race on the track ever. I'm still gonna upgrade to the rare parts tie rods I suppose anyway
