They reinforce the tie rods that pretty much keep the wheels straight while you drive, and the tie rods bend/break in 4wd boosted launched very easily because the tie rods are the only thing keeping the front wheels from spinning them selves into the frame. they dont have very good compression strength. but the sleeves will make the tire rods alot more stronger, i just put mine on today

its amazing how they are even able to withstand as much as they do in 4wd.

but thinking about how they fail reminds me of statics. man that class was cake -

I have been selling and installing the Pac Brake sleeves and run them on my own truck. I have had over 50 boosted 4wd launches on this set with my t-bars turned up and never a lick of trouble. They run around a buck thirty and are well worth the price. This is definitely not a big money making product for us, but it keeps the enthusiast away from the tow truck. You might want to also look into some Cognito Braces for you truck. I have had them on two different trucks and make a world of difference with the durability of the Idler and Pitman arms. PM me if you need specific advice for your truck. -
