ICON 73034 Extreme Duty Tie Rod Kit 11-26 Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500HD

11-26 GM 2500/3500 HD XD TIE ROD KIT ICON suspension upgrades allow owners of 2011-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD trucks to push the limits of performance with longer travel, larger tires and suspension dynamics that invite higher speeds on tougher terrain. Such use can stress the truck's factory tie rods beyond their intended strength. These ICON XD Forged Tie Rods remedy this with better materials and beefier dimensions, providing buckling strength that is over 6 times greater than the stock units. The inner tie rod and ball stud is CNC machined from 4140 chromoly and upsized to 130% larger diameter than the stock tie rods and complimented by a 35mm diameter, metal on metal inner ball stud for maximum rigidity. The outer tie rod is forged steel with a beefier 32mm diameter, metal on metal joint that is greaseable for extended service life and has the same range of operating angle as the stock tie rod ends. For the most hardcore of off-roaders, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod kit is recommended as part of a comprehensive steering system upgrade strategy.
