    Just purchased a low mileage 2011 TX Pro and will be adding a 3" lift soon. Should I replace the rack and pinion with a reman unit while I'm installing the lift? Found several threads with the OEM rack and pinion failing with any lift 3+ inches after a few thousand miles or less.

    i dont think i have ever seen a failed Rack thread. stick with what you got, no point in replacing parts that arnt broken.

    I know Spoonman (Jaime) has replaced his but he's had 35s for awhile and wheels that shit hard but haven't heard anything of others failing
