fabtech tierods!!
Just installed them 2 days ago, and so far so good. I must say they are physically very heavy duty. My question is what size cresant wrench do you think I will need to get a 2 inch size nut or the size that will fit the center link side of the tierod? I want to get one to keep in the hummer toolbox. Thanks. I cant wait to go try em out.

Re: fabtech tierods!!
The Fabtech HD tierods are one of the best upgrades(other than HID headlights) that you can make on the H2.
Here are some crescent wrenches. |

Re: fabtech tierods!!
actually they were not very hard to install. Its more work jacking up the rig and taking the tires off then R and R the tierods. I had to borrow a friends 2 inch wrench to be able to reinstall the tierod though. I am glad I did it because these babies are heavy duty.

That's why you make sure Adam is with you. He's such a brute.   |

It doesn't seem to be as much of a problem on the H3's. Only a couple reports of people breaking them so far.
