16 1500 4x4 tie rod ends

Any one else have trouble with outer tie rod ends?  I can seem to keep them in my pickup.  My setup isn’t crazy. Leveled with kings. 305 55 20s. I’m not sure what to do.  Anyone make a 3” kit with cross members?  Maybe it’s to much angle. Between tie rod ends and rack clicking in about ready to sell it.

That 3" is the issue. The angles are off too much. I replaced with moog. Mine is leveled top notch on billys. 

 

No issues here.

I’m not at 3” inches right now. The kings are not turned all the way up. Just thinking about going to a kit.

Wider heavier tires wear suspension much quicker too.

I put Kings and 305-60r18 tires on my 14 at about 2000 miles.  Now at 94,000 miles. Just had it apart to do all new steering ends (inner and outer tierod ends), balljoints.  The outer and inner tierod ends were still good.  The upper balljoints (Moog K9262 for Cognito A arms) were still tight after having been replaced about 15,000 miles ago. So, I just replaced the lower A-arms with new bushings and balljoints and put in new Moog unitized hubs. 

 

My Kings are set at the ride height that King sets them. It was about 1 3/4" or so above OE.
