about to put 37x13.50x17s on my truck and iv heard storys of huge tires an tie rods being torn to shreds, any one know of any heavy duty rods that are a direct replacement? preferably some that can take some use and abuse off road!

BUMP!!! I would like to know too. I have already torn through one set in about 25K miles with 35x12.50s . So if any one has some info I'd like to know as well!!!

EDIT: The truck had approx 88,000 miles when I replaced tie rod ends, and upper/lower ball joints.

I'm running 35s on my 02 king ranch and so far 2 idler arms in less then 3 months and replaced all the ends with moog about a month ago. So far 1 moog is shot. I know the jeep guys are drilling out there knuckles to do Chevy one ton steering. I'm gonna go that route and see how it goes

Um... I have a 05 with a six inch lift and 35's, I just replaced my Tie Rod Ends. First time (Only the driver side was bad) , the truck just rolled past 155,000 Miles. Sounds like the suspension geometry is off to be burning through parts that fast.

That is a chevy HD issue.. Never heard of it being an issue with the F150s

Soo would 2004 f250/350 front suspension parts bolt right in on an 150 ?

'04-08 F150s don't have idler arms. F250/350s do.
