OK I nuked my drag link 'attempting' to pull my steering box out, so it looks like I need to do my 1 ton steering linkage swap. I only have 2 weeks till the Stampede, so I'm in a hurry.
I know I need the following;
ES2026R drag link
ES2027L drag link
ES2234R tie rod end
ES2233L tie rod end
I believe I need approx. 38" of tube for the tie rod and approx. 25" for the drag link. What I'm not so sure of is the tube size? I was thinking 2" .250 wall tube with threaded inserts, or using 1.25" with a .812 inner diameter and just having them tapped for the rod ends. The latter is what the fab shop in town recommends. I'm not sure if its going to hold up. Eventually I'll run 35"s.
Am I on the right track here?
