just ordered 08.5-12 steering for my truck :)

Apparently mopar is too. Your trucks whole weight doesn't rest on your steering setup. Inferior tie rod ends I guess. Bad geometry. The tres are at an angle. Which they are suppose to be flat. But so was the old y-style. And those tre never sheared right off.

This was an upgrade planned for mine this year along with a redhead box. I'll have to rethink that and see where this ends up.

Hmmmm.... wonder if the steering is reaching its bind point, before it hits its stops. That would put a lot of force on the steering components. It looks like the 'wear' mark is on the front side of the TRE? If so, I suspect the bar is twisting when hitting the end of its travel, and putting side loads on the stud that it is NOT designed for.
