front end suspension question

[VetteD_SiN]

do you know if anyone sells upgraded aftermarket tie rods? think thats the term as listed in the pic below. i already bought my hd trackbar and hd draglink from pmf (thanks trevor!), but was hunting an aftermarket version of this part and the only one i came up with was bulletproof steering. traced it back to a thread made a while back and there was a lot of back and forth on if it was good or not. dont get me wrong, part looks good and i would buy it if it was worth it. so, school me on why this part would be bad. genuinely interested. thanks in advance.

(i know this is not our trucks, but the item im interested in is labeled tie rod)

Your referring to the two outer tie rod ends on the lower bar, correct? If so, the factory units are pretty robust. I havent seen too many premature failures no any replacement options that would offer any benefit over an OEM replacement.

not stock: thanks for replying. ok ill stick with that. it just gets me how a brand new truck has so much surface rust on its components right from the get go lol. so i figure, why not replace it with superior aftermarket pieces? that reason alone was one of the major deciding factors why i bought your trackbar and draglink. i already know its gonna work flawlessly, but its also gonna replace those ugly rusty pieces underneath and look awesome doing it haha.
