GM I made an attempt on yesterday to install the kryptonight sleeve and tie rod ends. I could not get the sleeve to fit! I’m looking at your previous post where you said that the sleeve covers the adjustment section of the tie rod. Yeah that would be problematic during the alignment. I’m gonna take another stab at it sometime today. I sent the company a message about the sleeve and possibly returning them. I’ll keep you posted.

I didn't have much issue. It was literally like a long nut. I did however, call their tech support about alignment question. The sleeve covers the provision on the inner tie rod to adjust the alignment. They said was non-issue. I then went to alignment shop to get it aligned and didn't seem to phase them at all. I made mention of the sleeves too.

I kind of wish I'd bought the whole system from them. Including the cross link. I didn't know they sold / made anything additional to tie rod sleeves. However, I have stock suspension although I do a LOT of wheeling off road..
