Tie rods or uca's

[gbrown27]

Im ordering the 5 star package with afe stage 2 and tuner and will only have enough money left over for either RPG Prerunner UCA's or Tie Rods.

Which one should i order first?

You cant go wrong with either one...and we can get you awesome pricing on any RPG parts.

Both

I wish i could go both. I don't do very much off roading and when i do it is mainly slow trails with max speeds of 25-30 mph so would UCA's or Tie-rods benefit me the most?

 

[Raptizzle]

I say tie rods then.

Personally I would get the tie-rods first. But if you only have enough cash right now to purchase one or the other keep in mind the tie-rods are going to require an alignment once installed. The upper arms won't.

tie rods- you will feel the difference

Thanks guys I'm gonna get the tie rods and I'll get them installed and alignment when I put my new tires on in a couple thousand miles

I'd like to ask a question that may help: which of the two will typically wear out faster? If the tie-rods last longer, they might be the better purchase, or vice-versa.

Actually, the upper arms may require it too... it's a good idea to have it aligned after installing those too!

I'm sure the tierods would wear out before the upper arms... but I'm still stock with my tierods, and already had one replaced under warranty (rod-end bushings were bad). I'll probably wait until my warranty is up, before going aftermarket.

The RPG tie-rods sure are pretty... so it's tempting!
