They are no big deal at all to install. Here is a link to some instructions with pics: How to Install Tie Rod Sleeves

| the PPE's are way over priced since they are Stainless steel,the steel ones are like $360-$400 and the PPE ones are like $500..just bought a set for a friend and he wanted the SS ones.

| Well I took a chance and went for the pull without the sleeves and my buddy has the same truck as me but its a GMC and he was 3 trucks ahead of me and he broke his tie rod and I told him to launch easy and he hammered it and it snapped. So now the question is which is better to do buy sleeves or just buy new tie rods? All I have to say is I will be doing more pulls because its a whole new ball game in the good old diesel. | |
