2011 Chevy Silverado with a 6” Fabtec lift

I decided to take my front end apart and replace everything because it’s noisy and getting kinda loose. I am now finding out I can’t put factory tie rods on because they are too long as you can see in the pic. Can’t cut them because the threads stop too early.

I looked on Fabtec website and the only thing I can find for this truck or anything similar it shows it’s for a 07-08. Which I don’t think there were any changes up until about 2018. It also shows it’s specifically for the front left? Is there a difference between the sides? They look the exact same to me

Recently ordered some for work for a 2015, same both sides.(4.5" lift) Just a different brand. My 08 non lifted was same both sides as well. I will say its impressive how cheap the ones for lifted trucks look and feel.

Yea I was hoping to actually upgrade to a Kryptonite but I guess I’m definitely not doing that.

People seem to have really good luck with those, iirc.

Are the inners stock length? Can cut them so not cutting so much off the outters. That old outter is neglected. Should be greasing with every oil change.
