Post Tir Rod Over steering on a 77
Anybody have a recommendation on a Tie Rod Over set up for Dana 44 on a 77 ?

I kind of like the BC Broncos kit but man is it expensive.

Based on the BC kit, I'm assuming you're looking for something much heavier duty than the stock stuff. Here is the write-up on the direction I took with mine. Turned out really well:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=963

You can buy the same thing pre-assembled from these guys:

http://extremecustomparts.com/i-361167- ... d-o-m.html

They generally get good reviews and it'll save you some fab work. As I mentioned in my write up, I'd stick with rod ends you can get at a parts store. Hard to find a heim in the middle of nowhere. You'll need a reamer but you may be able to borrow one.

on my 76 I had i went tie rod over and used the trail proof kit from these guys http://bulletproofsteering.com/fordpricingoptions.html

trail proof is their starting point but I figured it was waaay better than the stock 76-77 inv Y.
got the matching trac bar and think I had about $500 total into it.

it was one of those things that I payed for and figured I would never again have to really think about.

Justin: I believe their Heims have a lifetime warranty or sumthin like that to orig user. now I know that does no good in the middle of Moab, but it says to me they are tough and I think youd be unlikely to have a failure with them if you checked them for excessive wear.

if it was a big concern you could carry one of each left and right thread but after I handled them I personally felt confident theyd last years and years.

Also my Y setup was sloppy and needed fixing, and I wanted to change the "vulnerable/weak" stock stuff. had the money then too.

Pricey...yup
purty... yup
will they go on my current truck?
prolly not as I have a long list before I do any tie rod upgrades.
Driveshafts,ARB's,winch,bumpers maybe a radio for the wife and kids.


just curious what was the total cost in your setup with the Chebby rod ends?

and Zilla is right about rod end clearance, i had about oh 3 hairs of space (maybe a little more) but it was very tight

The bullet proof is the same as or very similar to the . I've got the Stone Crusher on mine, but the guy that owns SC is an EB guy. Hoppy is his handle over on CB.com I think, but his name is Anthony and is a pretty good guy. I love mine, and he uses something like 30k lb heims on the ends. The hardest part is drilling the knuckles out. I know a lot of guys over on CB.com don't like the heim setup, but it took a lot of the front end bind out of mine when I did it. Especially since I am running 5.5" of lift.

Check that, Anthony's handle on CB is Thumping, if you want to get in touch with him.

Don't buy or use the heims w/ the teflon lining. They wear out ALOT faster than the solid ones. Also, the greasable ones don't last much longer than solid ones either... I have tried them all, I buy the soild ones and they generally last 3+ yrs, depending on use. Also, if you are worried about failure, use a washer over them as a "safety net" if the ever fail.
