I'm interested in a set...will wait to see price.


i understand pricing is always an issue. the problem with a product like this is that you can hold them in your hand...so small seems like it shoud = cheap.

these are really no different in concept than the Heavy Duty tie rods for a Jeep, Dana 44, etc... that is in number of parts...only real difference is that instead of one being 4' and the other being 3'...........they are both about 1'.

just to give you an idea, the similar type item from other manufactures for other applications run in the $300 range. As an example, All Pro Offroad has a HD draglink kit for Toyotas w/ FJ ends - $60 for the adjuster, $30 each for the TRE's and $5.00 each (x2) for the Jams = $130.00 (shorten that down by a foot and a half and that is the same as this product.)


Now that being said, and knowing that you guys are......well nicely put...."budget minded"...........i have been working hard to get these done in a production fashion that will reduce the costs.

the only way to do that was for me to go out on a limb and Manufacture a few hundred to get the Price of the center Hex sleeves down. So in this case Sean is right one of the real expense ends up being the 4 TRE's (Tie Rod Ends)


i'm shooting for an initial price point under $100 per side for the complete tie rod w/ 2 TRE's, 2 jam nuts, 1 sleeve

that shouldn't bee too tuff to swallow considering how many salvage tie rods i sell at $25.00 per side and that guys are buying a "clamp on" type protector for $65 per side.

i'll have the final pricing hammered down by the time all sleeves are here.
