Default RockAuto?

Alright, well first off let me apologize if this should go in the tech section(Wasnt sure)

But i aint ever used rockauto.com but i went on there looking for both my outer tie rod ends and found this. Is this what im looking for or am i reading it wrong? Seems almost too cheep! $45 for the pair.

1994 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP 5.2L V8Steering : Tie Rod End

AUTO EXTRA / CHASSIS RITE Part # AXDS1309 {#RDS1309}
Front Right Outer; 4WD

AUTO EXTRA / CHASSIS RITE Part # AXES3247RT {#RES3247RT} (Only 8 Remaining)
Front Left Outer; 4WD; Connecting Tie Rod to LH Steering Arm

or is it to cheap because Auto Extra aint any good?
P.S. I know i should go with a brand like acdelco, or moog, but i aint got 100bucks to throw down right now, but on the same hand i dont wanna have to replace them in a month etheir!!(for a daily driver, not a mudder!)

You could look at the crossover 8.5 and up steering upgrade.

It's way better than stock. But it's also 300.

I wouldn't skip out on steering components but if the money's not there its just not there

since you have a lift kit and 33s on it, stick with moog parts. they can handle the stress caused by the lift and the tires much better than those cheap-o brands can. definitely stick with moog stuff even though it costs a bit extra....when it comes to car parts, you get what you pay for! check the sticky at the top of this section for the rock auto discount code!
