Description: Fabtech Heavy Duty Tie Rods Ends Assembly Inners & Outers 03-09 Hummer H2 & SUTs Fabtech Heavy Duty Tie Rod Assemblies THIS LISTING IS FOR: 1 - FTS71002 - Fabtech HD Tie Rod Assemblies - 4 Pc Set Lift kits, Oversized wheels and tires, Off Roading, Drag Racing, Sled Pulling and just everyday driving can apply extreme demands on the stock GM steering components. The factory tie rod assemblies on the Chevy / GMC - 1500HD/2500HD/3500 and the Hummer H2 are not sufficient for the job they were asked to do. These components were way under designed from the factory and are a real danger when extra loads are put on them. From the start these undersized components are the weak link in the front end of your truck and need to be addressed for a good reliable solid steering system. Since the factory tie rod ends are not what they should be, they start wearing prematurely which will result in sloppy steering at first, then eventually the worst case, complete failure and breakage. Even the tie rod shaft themselves are very thin and weak, we have seen them bend from just mild off roading or sled pulling. Unfortunately the original units were just way under designed from the get go. So even original size aftermarket replacements parts are not much better, the original OEM design is just too small to take the extra demand put on them. It is the small size of the joint and the main shaft that is the culprit not just the quality of the part..... These Fabtech Super Tie Rod Assemblies are almost three times the size of the original GM Units. Provide better steering control and increased safety. THEY ARE A MUST FOR LIFTED TRUCKS WITH BIGGER TIRES.Don't get left on the side of the road, buy some insurance and peace of mind. Directly replaces original factory units and attaches to the stock center link. Applications: 2001-2010 - Chevy Silverado 1500HD, 2500, 2500HD, 3500 (2 & 4wd) 2001-2013 - Chevy Suburban 2500, Avalanche 2500 (2 & 4wd) 2001-2010 - GMC Sierra 1500HD, 2500, 2500HD, 3500 (2 & 4wd) 2001-2013 - GMC - Yukon XL 2500 (2 & 4wd) 2003-2009 - Hummer H2, H2T (8-lug) Does NOT fit 1500 Light Duty Part # FAB-FTS71002 ** OPTIONAL PART AVAILABLE: Note: We have found a serious clearance issue with the sway bar when using stock length sway bar end links with these tie rod ends. This clearance issue occurs on many trucks running stock suspension that have been highly leveled out, (raised up in the front), especially if you are running an aftermarket upper control arm leveling kit and or lifting torsion keys. This by itself will cause a very close tie rod to sway bar clearance issue and on many trucks the two will contact each other. Check your truck for this clearance issue! When you upgrade to Heavy Duty tie rod assemblies, there for sure becomes a clearance issue with the sway bar. The inner tie rod joints on these heavy duty tie rods are much larger than the factory units and will hit the sway bar. When the truck is raised the angle of the lower control arm increases, which also pulls the sway bar down as they are attached to each other by the sway bar end links. This combination of bigger inner tie rod joints and increased lower control arm angle will cause the tie rods to hit the sway bar. We have the perfect solution to this problem, the SSM 1" longer Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Link Kit!!On top of the clearance issue the original sway bar end links are notorious for breaking. So get a REAL Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Link for your HD and stop breaking those stock wimpy end links. These sway bar end links are a Heavy Duty replacement to the factory style end links, and are 1" longer to clear the sway bar. NEW AND IMPROVED!!! - We have just released our NEW IMPROVED Heavy Duty 1" Longer Sway Bar End Link Kit. This kit now features a 3/4" powder coated solid steel hex bar center section. Larger, correct size, Energy Suspension HYPER-FLEX ™ Performance Polyurethane sway bar end link bushings. These larger bushings are the correct size for the HD sway bar, they are not a universal one size fits all bushing. Bushings are made from a firm polyurethane and provide more overall mass and surface area than a smaller universal bushing. Then we top them off with Grade 8 zinc plated hardware. This unit is far superior than the factory part and will work on a leveled or bone stock truck. End Link Set does both sides. MADE IN THE USA!!! The sway bar end links are optional and not included in the listing. If you need an end link kits please see our other listings that includes the end link kit with the tie rods. You can let us know and add $45.00 for the HD Sway Bar End Link Kit, does both sides, No additional shipping. This end link kit will work on bone stock trucks, stock trucks with leveling kits, or trucks with lift kits that require use of the original length GM sway bar end links.
