    Coach Builder Tie rod review:
    Hands down wish I would of bought these sooner! Fixes toe shift while turning resulting in cupping and steering mechanism wear.

    Went through 3 sets of pro comp tie rods, straight and dog leg. Pro comp ball joint on tie rod kept unevenly wearing resulting in popping… even snapped while driving on on while pulling out of driveway. Erk did me right and explained Toyota designed the truck and, pro comp along with there lift, with too small of ball joint. This resulted in toe shifting during turning, wearing out rack and pinion bushings due to toe change and tire lifting truck as it cups the outside and applies additional force to steering mechanism.

    Design is great increasing pivot angle, larger ball joint for stability, knuckle spacer to reduce pinching. Steering is more smooth and stable. No more tow shift and tire cupping.

    Rig details:
    I have 8” lifted crew max pushing 37s with 5:29 nitro gear coupled with pedal commander.
    -Pro comp lift with coach builder products: 1” Shims infront, shackles in-rear, housing drop, and now tie rods.
    -custom steel bumper

    Next add on:
    - Hydrogen on demand :)
    - MPG
