IFS Tie Rods

Does any body make a stronger tie rod for the IFS? I have not torn any up yet but I know its going to happen.

Thanks

I have IFS on my truck, and I haven't experienced any tie rod issues. Can someone fill me in on the issue with them? Do they just break at the knuckle or what?

Most of the time the adjuster sleeve folds in half. Sometimes the inner rod will bend.
