ICON Vehicle Dynamics 73034 XD Forged Tie Rod Kit for 2011-2026 Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 HD

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics 73034 Extreme Duty (XD) Forged Tie Rod Kit is a heavy-duty steering upgrade engineered for 2011–2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD trucks. Factory tie rods on these platforms are visually undersized for the demands of a heavy-duty truck — a limitation that becomes even more pronounced when running larger wheels and tires, suspension lifts, or tackling aggressive off-road terrain. The ICON XD Forged Tie Rod Kit directly addresses these shortcomings with superior materials and significantly beefier construction.

Key Features:

• CNC-Machined 4140 Chromoly Inner Tie Rod: The inner tie rod and ball stud is precision-machined from high-strength 4140 chromoly steel, upsized to 150% larger diameter than the OEM units for dramatically increased buckling strength
• 35mm Metal-on-Metal Inner Joint: Features a 35mm diameter metal-on-metal inner ball stud — eliminating the plastic-race wear points found in factory components
• Forged Steel Outer Tie Rod: The outer tie rod is constructed from forged steel with a robust 32mm diameter joint for maximum strength and durability
• Greaseable Outer Joint: The 32mm outer tie rod end features a grease zerk for routine maintenance and extended service life
• OEM-Matching Range of Motion: Engineered to maintain the same operating angle range as stock tie rod ends, ensuring full factory wheel and tire compatibility with no steering geometry compromise
• 6X Buckling Strength Over Stock: Delivers dramatically higher buckling resistance compared to factory units — built for overlanding, high-speed desert running, and serious off-road use
• Prop 65 Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm

For serious off-road builds, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod Kit is recommended as a key component of a comprehensive steering system upgrade. Pair with other ICON steering and suspension components for maximum performance and reliability.
