Kryptonite KRTR88 Tie Rods
When it comes to heavy-duty performance, the Kryptonite KRTR88 Tie Rods are engineered to meet the extreme demands of your truck. Proudly crafted in the USA, these tie rods are designed for both stock and modified suspensions, ensuring that your vehicle can take on whatever challenges lie ahead.
The KRTR88 is perfectly suited for a range of Chevy and GMC trucks from 1988 to 1999, specifically those with the centerlink mounted in the factory location. This means you can enjoy enhanced steering performance without the hassle of compatibility issues.
Why Choose Kryptonite?
These tie rods stand out in the market due to their superior engineering and materials. In rigorous strength tests, they outperformed both OEM and aftermarket options, withstanding an impressive 21,000 pounds of pressure before failure. In comparison, OEM tie rods only managed 9,000 pounds, while larger aftermarket versions designed for lifted trucks failed at 17,000 pounds. It's clear that Kryptonite means business.
Features and Benefits
- Heat-treated chromoly nickel outer studs for durability.
- Bulletproof, all-steel inner ball sockets that won’t let you down.
- Solid 1 1/4" hexagon steel body for added strength.
- Left and right-hand jam nuts allow for precise adjustability.
Each tie rod comes pre-greased with premium Chevron Ultra EP2 Grease, making installation a breeze. Regular servicing is recommended every 7,000 to 10,000 miles to keep them in top shape—just remember, a small amount of grease is all you need per joint!
What Customers Are Saying

“After trying several aftermarket options, I finally went with Kryptonite. Worth every penny! These tie rods are built like a tank.” – Sarah T.
