The sleeves are mainly for the guys racing and puling, but with your bigger tires if you go off-road and use 4wd much you might want them as a safe guard. They keep you from snapping the tie-rods when do a hard 4wd launch becuase of the torque of the front wheels. I also carry the sleeves.

Sleeves are very popular for the money and work well. I opted for the COGNITO H.D. tie rods and braces there almost twice the size of the factory garbage. I ordered mine directly from cognito but you can also order them through NORCALNICK on here.

Does anyone make tie rod sleeve set that isnt made of stainless steel? 304 stainless steel is NOT a good material to make suspension components out of.
