72 K5 Tie rods

I was wondering if there are any better options than stock replacements. Can anyone help me out with part numbers? TIA

What exactly are you looking for? What's wrong with the stock units

I'm looking for tie rods. Nothing wrong with stock. Just preference I guess. Heavier duty parts can handle a little more off road abuse.

Re: 72 K5 Tie rods

Gm used the same tie rod ends 1/2 ton and 1 ton so really is no part store upgrades.And really the weak link in the stock steering is the whole design.Its ok stock and small lift but once you go so high of a lift you need cross over steering.

Thanks for the info. I'll go that route. First time I have to replace them.
