This system also uses special offset tie rod ends that space the tie rod farther away from the differential cover, gaining valuable clearance that is needed on many custom applications. These special tie rod ends are built to Rusty's specifications and are a Rusty's exclusive! These ends are also larger and beefy than the factory parts. This system is also completely bolt-on; no drilling or reaming is required. It is as simple as removing the factory system and bolting the new Rusty's system in its place!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRusty's tie-rod is constructed of 1.5\" solid steel that has been CNC machined, which offers incredible strength and durability. The drag link is constructed of 1.5\" x 0.375\" DOM tubing. The steering conversion components are coated with a Black ED Coating Finish for a clean corrosion resist protection. The Rusty's offset tie rod ends s feature the factory taper and diameter to fit the factory knuckles, yet feature the same inner ball and forgings that are seen on 1-ton tie rod ends. The kit also comes with a bracket and hardware to mount the factory steering stabilizer or most any after market replacement stabilizer to the tie rod. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike the rest of our steering components, we build the system right here in our shop so you can be sure you're buying quality components.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\" factory and aftermarket wheels with factory backspacing will not work with this system!
