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.

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.

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.

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.

X2 You could have a local shop handle sleeving them for you.
