Re: Upgrade Steering and Suspensions Parts
I'll see if i can break these tie-rods, hopefully NOT....then i'll install those heavy duty tie-rods.....there's nothing wrong with my oem rods and i haven't break one yet...my H2 has 52,000 hard miles....i changed the rods for preventive maintenance and have a spare for the trails at the same time  .
Well, the alignment was done and the truck drives like it used to compare to the oem shocks....it rides softer and smoother now even with the cranked keys.....i think the Bilstein shocks we're softer than oem and the Cognito uca contribute for this also. For now, i'm very happy with the mods and this week i will put it to the test....a hard test  .
Next mods will be installing the Yukon 4.88 front and rear gears and Eaton front e-lockers .

Re: Upgrade Steering and Suspensions Parts
Finished wheeling last week....broke my RF half-shaft AGAIN on the way home in the highway....WTF??? This time is the outer Cardone Select. I think, the outer bearing cage cracked when i did some rock crawlin' and finally let go on the highway. No broken tie-rods though . Man, i wish that RCV half-shaft was not that expensive.... 
Here's some pics
