    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    But it definitely helps. Plain and simple. After all of this discussion it's still hard for me to see how the centerlink and tie rods do not coincide. Fixing the rotating centerlink may not address all of the factors for broken tie rods but it does address a major reason why they break or...

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    See if I have this right..... -DHD brace, cognito, and straight centerlinks help prevent the centerlink from rotating -We don't want it rotating because it causes toe in -Toe in causes torque hop -Torque hop causes tie rod failure But this still does not address the weak tie rod...

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    Thanks for the explanation. So you have seen broken or bent tie rods with the DHD brace installed and tie rod sleeves? Back to the OP's original post, my question is would it be better for him to install just HD tie rods vs DHD brace and cheap tie rods and sleeves? Or DHD and HD tie rods...

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    Correct which is why I made it clear I was talking about stock height trucks and it looks like the OP is at stock height.

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    Where does the DHD have binding issues or limit free movement? You talking about the lower control arm bolts? I just sanding those down to where it doesn't hit anymore. Steers great now! Again I am talking about stock height trucks like mine.

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    Excuse my ignorance. Rotation not flexing or bending. What I meant was the DHD brace keeps the centerlink from doing whatever it's not suppose to do (rotate). I guess I'm just confused. What is the point of having the DHD brace if it doesn't solve breaking or bending tie rods? Also, how did I...

    How did the sleeved sets bend with the DHD brace?

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    They don't the straight centerlink does. What I'm trying to accomplish is keep the centerlink from flexing which is what causes tie rod failure. If you can keep it from flexing with either the DHD brace or straight centerlink you have fixed the issue with the tie rods so I don't see the point in...

    Kryptonite tie rods, or stockers with sleeves?

    What about just replacing with stock quality parts that you can get cheaper and gy the DHD brace? Why would you need beefy tie rods with the brace? I just run sleeves and the dhd brace. Raced the truck Saturday and it worked great! Plus I get to keep my turning radius and tires. Brace won't work...

    Tx Guys-- Who's headed to Little River Diesel Throwdown IV ?

    Awesome! I know who to call when I get my sxs. My dad just bought a wildcat X and loves it! It's not the fastest but the suspension on that thing is amazing! Still goes pretty good. I didn't take sxs serious until a turbo rzr road a wheelie past me in the sand drags at Little Sahara in Oklahoma...

    Yeah 614 and the dyno operator said this dyno was a little tight. 4wd Jake took the rear housing off the one that came out and installed it on this trans. With just one 200k stock cp3 I was very impressed. I didn't know you tuned atv's. You have a dyno? You coulda tuned mine.

    I didn't see you there Russ. I guess you couldn't make it. Remember that trans you sold my buddy Jakemax04? Well, the truck he built that trans for showed up and put down over 600 hp on the dyno. I will see if I can find a video of the pull.

    Making a 4x4 CCSB Hook!

    I just replaced my straight centerlink with a stock and DHD brace because I could not stand the turning and tire wear. Huge difference now! Was cheap and took less than 15 min to install. Like a whole new truck when it comes to turning. Went to the track yesterday and cut consistent 1.70s. I had...

    Yeah I got runner up in 7.70 index and knocked out in the 2nd round by the guy who won in sportsman. Pretty good turn out. Maybe not as many as last time but still a lot of trucks. It was fun
