    1. every aftermarket company always claims it's product is better than OEM.
    For example, Moog be like "MINE IS BETTER. BEEFIER. STRONGER. BETTER DESIGNED. LASTS LONGER."

    2. many built trucks I see have a very different looking tie rod system and I'm not sure what it is
    but I assume it's some sort of beefed up part
    because if they are spending money building up a truck, tubes in the back
    everything else upgraded,
    I doubt they would just leave the part stock.
    Like why would they gusset everything, double shear, King long travel, and so on. Then just run a $15 tie rod to steer the thing, that has to resist and handle the force of being used like that kind of truck
