Bought my TRE's from AutoZone there top house brand really Moog, both tre's and sleeve for just under a $100 including tax. Screw the online sellers for auto parts only local for me other than a few OEM parts from an internet vender, use them or lose them.


Mine flex's out just fine for a 4 1/2" lift, its a lot more than just the 1 ton steering for that.

You don't know where to shop or know what parts your buying my AutoZone TRE's are really made by Moog and were less than 1/3 the cost.

it seemed like steering because it's fine on the drivers side but lessened on the passenger side. Talking about droop.

Id agree with that if it was a family style parts store and wouldn't mind spending a few extra dollars for parts there. Did it with a local father son speed shop for years until they closed up a few years ago. But chains like pep boys , advanced,auto zone, Napa ......etc etc etched that drove those family stores out of business I say screw those places. I'll save money and buy online. That money adds up fast. 30 here 20 there. And better yet it comes right to my door. Can't beat that. . Only way I will shop are a chain parts store is if I need the parts right then and there.
