The amount of force your rig puts down on those tires is far greater than you could exert by hand.

By the way, are you aware the Fabtech and Cognito tie rods are now ****? Cheap chineese steel..

Dont feel bad, I have them on my rig also- untill they go crap out.

My truck came with the fabtech tie rods when I bought it. It's an 05 with 40K miles, but I don't know when the lift was put on, etc. Don't know if I have the old good ones or the new crap ones. Like you said I'm going to use them until they crap out, then probably go with Kryptonites.

Thanks for the tips I will try checking these things.
