Good tie rod ends

I have an 04 Tacoma with a 3 in lift and I’m looking for some good reliable tie rod ends , maybe even some performance . The ones I have now are shot , but what else could I also do performance wise to help on gravel and dirt roads ?

 

performance tie rod ends ? Just get OEM...

Non-worn tie rods and dirt road performance are unrelated and rather non-sensical. If any of the suspension and steering components are worn, allow movement they shouldn't, or faulty they need to be replaced before considering "performance". Once things are brought back to a functioning base line (OEM parts are really the best), then you could consider some new coilovers and rear suspension upgrades to meet your performance expectations. Most folks who wheel casually are running 5100s. Next step up would be any 2.5" shock body coilover (King, ADS, Icon, etc...) + whatever associated rear spring and shock update. And then cause you said dirt roads rather than crawling trails, long travel suspension upgrades- which probably could mean getting longer tie rods... And if you are looking for performance crawling upgrades, the obvious solution is 40's and tons.

 

The OE ones on my 2000 that has seen nothing but hard duty since it was purchased new still allow a great alignment after 150K...I would go OE.

 

OEM is the most durable

 

Option #1 - OEM
Option #2 - Sankei
Option #3 - IFS elimination kit, the best option
