Update, as of 6/29/12. We have negotiated a tremendous discount with UPS for our Tube related products and shipping for all Steering kits is now only $17!

This is kind of an offshoot from our DOM sales & its about time! We have taken way too long to bring these to market. The prices some companies charge are out of this world for these simple items so we are going to serve them notice right here!

Steering components from Ruffstuff Specialties using our own Heat & Cryo Treated Chromoly Heims or GM 1 Ton Tie Rod Ends.

I priced these out using a fair pricing model we have developed (we do have to make money or we won't be around long) but after I was done I compared our prices to several other companies and was sure I had made a misstake! Our pices couldn't be that much lower than theirs could it? I did my pricing again & again, always with the same result. Okay, our pricing is simply more fair I guess ;)

Y Link steering


We have also uncovered some interesting Tie Rod Ends for those of you having problems with Diff Cover clearance, pretty damned cool with the same strength specs of a standard GM 1 Ton TRE...

Offset TRE Kit


They are available alone or as a kit


All of our kits using Heims also use our unique Safety Misalignment & Hex Bungs


All of our kits give you choices that can save you money, be stronger, and be more versatile. Look closely through the selections and make your decisions carefully. Keep in mind DOT regulations about Heims in steering. Heims are not legal in any state for highway use when used in steering. They may perform better but are not DOT approved, use your judgement...

These hae been on our site for about a month and it really seems you like them with 6-8 sets shipping daily :)

Hi Dan :wavey:
I've been thinking about your offset tre kit and am wondering if you could do the welding on these if provided with the proper measurements?
I really don't want to trust my welds to something as important as a tie-rod!
I could have it done locally though it would be great if your shop could do it for me. :)
The new site looks great and I'm glad to see your line expanding. :tea:

Some D30's can and some cannot. Look closely at the casting, the 1 ton taper is 3/4. Some D30 factory knuckles have enough beef in them to safely bore the taper larger and some do not. I can't tell you which years do and which don't, It changed back and forth. I think it was simply a different casting house getting the contract...
