Good video, I'm starting to look into a replacement from factory steering. OEM is starting to show /feel slop when driving on road. I checked the linkages to find slop due to tie rod end movement, so it's going to be at failure point.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

We replace the stock steering anytime we do lifts and also very often even on stock vehicles as the OEM steering is garbage. Rusty's is still hands down the best brand we have used and we have installed or replaced every single brand

[@ghernandez6457]

And they have GOVX discount?! No brainer.

[@boobiefett]

Lol, great beginning and very informative. Great job, new subscriber here.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Thanks buddy. Hope you enjoy the future vids to come

[@edwardfast4525]

Hey Ken back in the day I used to sell a boot bushing like that from energy suspension.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

I'm sure several companies make stuff like this now

[@bennet59]

Certainly my next project after we get those Rusty’s skid plates installed.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

You know I'll hook you up buddy.

[@phillipcraggs6202]

this looks to be the exact same as another company I know, but this is almost half the price. Awesome, SUB'd

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

There are several companies using his tie rods on their steering kits.

[@richardagostino5085]

So I just did the aluminum today no washer and have the tie rod flop 🤷‍♂️

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Washers add the old design, not needed anymore

[@richardagostino5085]

I don’t know it kinda seems like it needed it the tie rod flops 😐

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

@@richardagostino5085 then call rustys off-road and they'll walk you through it

[@davepetroski1523]

I picked up the Rusty's steering kit and had it installed. I'm having an issue with my drag link end on the passenger side getting extremely close to the tie rod and the jam nuts are sometimes banging together. Any ideas?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

It sounds like it was not installed correctly

[@davepetroski1523]

@@AllProAutoOffroad Any ideas on what the garge did wrong so i can have them fix it?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

It would be impossible to know without seeing the vehicle

[@tommylifeisgood6144]

I have the same problem, drag link on passenger side lays on tie rod. Probably wouldnt be a problem on lifted jeep though

[@CompressorMango]

Great video! I’m about an inch away from ordering this kit, but, I’m trying to find out/understand why they don’t classify this as a 2.5 ton set up. It seems as though the tie rods end are the same dimensionally as others who call theirs 2.5 ton and the OD of the aluminum is greater than some of those who call theirs 2.5 ton. Do you have any insight as to why they don’t call this a 2.5 ton?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

It's just all marketing. There isn't one 2.5 ton truck that uses tie rods this small anyways. So those that call it 2.5 ton are really lying to you

[@DKoppJr]

I have a 2010 JKU sport with no lift kit, Will this fit a stock setup ? I am looking all over the internet but have found no video or forum.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Yes. We install the Jk version of this on stock vehicles all the time. You may need small wheel spacers to clear the wheels depending on which wheel you have

[@davepetroski1523]

I'm looking to do heavy duty steering components on my Gladiator. It ha s 2 inch lift on it. I only do moderate wheeling. I'm torn between Steer Smarts, Metal Cloak , Rusty's and Synergy. Which one would you recommend?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Rusty's hands down is the only choice imo. I've broken the synergy steering and replaced many broken steer smart pieces for customers

[@davepetroski1523]

@@AllProAutoOffroad Thanks brother

[@AndruwJ24]

Hi, you know I buy this tie rod (RS-TR800-JK) from Rusty but it doesn't bring the washer plate, that you show here. It has to be ordered separately?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

I would call Rustys and ask

[@twsmith221]

Mine also did not come with the washer. The boots are grey and not black. I recall seeing a video that said the grey ones were upgrades and didn’t need the washer but I cannot find the video or reference. Am I remembering that wrong? Thank you for the video

[@twsmith221]

And I found it. On this video with the words no longer required on the thumbnail. Thanks!

[@JMSynthetics]

How have the Rustys steering parts held up? seriously considering their 7075 lineup which appear to use the same ends.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Absolutely amazing Of the three brands we have used, it's the only set we can't break or wear out

[@JMSynthetics]

@@AllProAutoOffroad is the track bar any good? They might just be showing a really generic photo but it doesn't seem to be like any of the other heavy duty ones unless the photo is bad. Can't seem to find any videos on it either.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Their track bar is damn good. They use quality parts and materials. I have 50 miles on my JL with 37s and tons of off-road use and I've yet to replace the bushings even.

[@jons1609]

What kind of grease did you put in the fittings?, I just ordered my kit.

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Any common chassis or steering grease will be just fine.

[@twsmith221]

I installed this kit with the Rusty’s stabilizer shock. It hits at full lock against the drag link one way and track bar the other at full lock. Tried inverting the shock still hitting but only to one side. What’s the deal?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

They require a lot of finesse to fine tune

[@twsmith221]

@@AllProAutoOffroad maybe they sent the wrong stabilizer bracket or stabilizer shock but I can’t position the clamp at the 12 o’clock position. Best I can get is 2 o’clock

[@christianguzman9141]

what is the thread size of the tie rod

[@SuperSilence23]

Hey I know the steering system you used first and I was thinking of getting that system. Why do you think this a better system, besides the better price. Now when you said the others rotated do you mean they twisted?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

The systems that use bolts to clamp the tie rod won't hold tight enough and will allow the cross bar to rotate. This system has been heavily abused since the install with zero issues. With the previous kit we had to constantly readjust the alignment after wheeling hard.

[@michaelmurray2592]

Will this kit work on Gladiator?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

Absolutely, just give us a call and we can set you up with a kit. 517-485-8662

[@richardagostino5085]

Steel or aluminum?

[@AllProAutoOffroad]

They offer both options

[@davidyost763]

Which one would you prefer? Also considering metalcloak as well. Have you had their steering kit?
