Description:
Kryptonite’s Death Grip Tie Rod Kit is built for reliability under real-world abuse—heavy towing, off-roading, or simply daily driving with confidence. Whether you’re running a stock suspension or a lifted setup, these tie rods provide an unmatched level of strength and durability.
Tested to hold over 21,000 lbs of pulling force, these are far stronger than factory or even most aftermarket options. The forged chromoly studs and bulletproof ball sockets are built to outlast and outperform. Left and right-hand jam nuts make alignment simple and secure. And with black powder coating and laser engraving, they look as good as they perform.
This tie rod kit is fully compatible with stock centerlinks and can be upgraded later with the Kryptonite SS Series Centerlink Upgrade Package for even more steering precision.
Includes:
- 2 x Kryptonite Inner Tie Rod Ends 10KXDI78
