Sky's has put together a kit to help customers who want to build there own tie rod and drag link for various Dana type axle applications. These will fit all GM solid axles, Dodge 1 ton axles, 78-79 Ford F-150-F-350 axles, Jeep Wagoner axles.
Reaming of tie rod tapers on knuckles and pitman arms of pretty much anything will make them work as well.
We have combined a left and right 7/8ths x 18 GM style tie rod end, with 2 jam nuts, and 2 inserts. Inserts fit 1.5 .250 wall DOM tube. Inserts od where it fits tube is .995, if you want to use thinner chromoly tube. Taper is GM tie rod end, common part # 2010L and 2010R. Ends are designed with a larger casing than common store bought ends, allowing for additional deflection, up to 27 degree.
Kit is designed for either a drag link application( crossover only) or drag link and tie rod application,( high steer ) you get double the parts for the high steer kit.
It is recommended that to install the tube insert a Tig welder is used, if using a wire feed, never seize the tie rod end, install into insert and weld as a unit, allow to cool.
Please note, Sky's does not use inserts in our steering kits we build, we machine thread the tube, thus being slightly stronger while using a smaller OD tube.
