Kryptonite KRTR12-FT Tie Rods

Engineered for the heavy-duty demands of modern trucks, the Kryptonite KRTR12-FT tie rods are built with precision and pride in the USA. Perfectly suited for stock or modified suspension systems, these tie rods are designed to meet the needs of serious truck enthusiasts.

Key Features:

  • Heat-treated chromoly nickel outer studs for enhanced durability.
  • Robust all-steel inner ball sockets ensure long-lasting performance.
  • Solid 1 1/4" hexagon steel body provides superior strength.
  • Left and right-hand jam nuts allow for ultimate adjustability.

Technical Performance:

In rigorous strength tests, Kryptonite tie rods demonstrated their superiority, withstanding an astonishing 21,000 pounds of pressure before pulling apart. In comparison, OEM tie rods failed at just 9,000 pounds, and even larger aftermarket options buckled at 17,000 pounds. This makes the KRTR12-FT a reliable choice for those who push their vehicles to the limit.

What Customers Are Saying:

"I've installed these tie rods on my 2005 Silverado, and the difference is night and day. The steering feels tighter, and I have confidence knowing they can handle the weight of my lifted truck!" - Mark T.

"After testing these on rough terrain, I can say they hold up better than any other tie rods I've tried. Worth every penny!" - Jessica L.

Installation and Maintenance:

All ball joints and rod ends come pre-greased with premium Chevron Ultra EP2 Grease, ready for installation. Regular servicing is recommended every 7,000 to 10,000 miles to maintain optimal performance.
