Cart Tie Rod Sleeves

Ok all you Duramax guys, we are making our own sleeves, they are made if high grade SS

and are going to be two sided to improve wrench grip and to prevent rounding. They are going

to be 1" in diameter and possibly going to 1" 1/8 in the future to improve strength, we should

have the first set on the company truck to day and will take pictures and post them up.

These are our own design based on what we have seen in the past but will made at some

what of a higher quality, SS baby!!!, how does it get any better. These are not just

somebodys product that we are selling we have teamed up with a friend of ours who works

in a machine shop and came up with a good solid design that we think will last and be strong

forever.


Pricing will $100.00 shipped to your door

ok i got some pics but im gonna wait and post them until they are finalized, we put a set on Gmclbz's truck to day and we believe we can get some more strength by making them about an inch longer to get to the shoulder on the rod itself toward the joint on the truck. We believe this will add strength to them all the way. These things have a way better finish than what currently out there, and the two slot design is much stronger than the four sided currently out there.

If anyone wants to pre order a set we should have a few ready toward the end of next week, cost might increase just a tad but we haven't set on the increase yet, so currently its still $100.00 shipped. DD

Okay guys, due to the new material being used the sleeves are now going to be $110 + shipping. This is still a great deal. The quality is going to be really nice also. We are taking preorders if anyone is interested.

Thanks, Jim and Chad
