well its physics when it comes to the stress, the lower the tie rod linkage is from the idler arm the more tension it puts on the steering components, it is minimul, it ranges from 1-3% more tension on the steering, but add in your 33" to 35" tires and you can easily see an increase of 20% more stress, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />
