    Tie rod end question

    I need new outer tie rod ends for my truck. My question is, which ones Sjould I get. I see some that are $10 all the way up to $60. Any brands to stay away from? I've seen Mevotech, Moog, Ray Bestos, Summit brand, and Proforged. I'm not very well versed in suspension so any help would be appreciated. I am set on getting ones that are greasable.

    Moog has always been decent for me. I usually just stick with on that has a lifetime warranty

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    Guess that settles it. Moog it is.

    I ran them all on my 2500 but kept snapping them offroad. Moog were the best but if you want to go all out use some 3/4" heims to a 1" piece of heavy wall tubing threaded and notched with a bolt and joint on the end for a beefy upgrade. CST and BMSOffroad makes some I believe but they're pricey. I built mine for around $60 in parts.

    I'll keep that in mind. I don't think I'll be breaking any. Stockers held up this long with the way I drive.

    Let me know if you need to upgrade - I can throw a set together pretty cheap if you catch me when I'm building my new steering setup in a month or so.
