Has anyone ever installed the outer tie rods from a 2500hd into a 1500 silverado... The only noticable difference i can see is the stud that goes through the spindle is a slightly larger size. I know some of the aftermarket control arms require opening up the hole i the spindle for the upper ball joint, so vant see this being much different.... I am asking because i am thinking about doing this on my truck with a set of either cognito/fabtech or another set of similarly designed tie rod assemblies...... I had a set of cognito inners a few years ago on my 3500 dually....which had a massive inner joint and screwed into the factory outer, but thise arent available anymore and turns out heim joints are frowned upon in va!!!

 

Chirp chirp... Chirp chirp....

i know this is old, but Im here researching using 2500 kryptonite tierods as a whole. looking at LT Tolmans steering damper video it appears the center segment remains the same 99-18 essentially.

so literally the only difference is 1500 or 2500 outters

only item pricing is based on demand so essentially the same parts but for a 2011 2500 are cheaper than parts for a 99 1500 because basically all bromobiles are newer diesels and I guess 99 1500s are beaters so theres no demand I guess?

anywho, you need a 7° taper. it looks just about EXACTLY like the cheap bullshit reamer I already have, and Ive got a digital angle gauge, so I think Ill check that out before paying $50 for a 1 use tool so I can save $200 buying cheaper parts lol...

 

The Center Drag link is different between 2500 and a 1500

Kryptonite sells tie rod kits for a 99-06 6 lug 1500 series trucks.
