7/8" Heim Steering Kit

RuffStuff 7/8" Heim Steering Kit

This is your not so basic steering setup that uses 7/8" heims with easier adjustment & much stronger tubing. The kit can be used with stock steering position on the knuckle or High Steer arms. The arms or knuckles would need a 3/4" bore. The adjustment is easier because we add Hex Head weld bungs so a crescent wrench is your adjustment tool, not a pipe wrench, which will scar the tube and if too deep, cause a major stress riser. Not to mention what it does to the paint... These are stronger than stock because we use 1.5" X .25" Wall DOM tubing and 7/8" Ruffstuff Heat Treated Chromoly heim joints.

Kit Includes:

• 2 - 54" of 1.5" X .25" wall DOM tubing  or optional 60" length for tie rod.
• 4 - 7/8" Hex Head Weld Bungs, 2 LH & 2 RH, 14TPI for Heim Joints
• 4 - 7/8" Jam Nuts, 2 LH & 2 RH, 14TPI for Heim Joints
• 4 - 7/8" Chromoly Heims, 2 LH & 2 RH
• 2 - 7/8" to 3/4" RS Stainless Safety Misalignment
• 2 - 7/8" to 3/4" RS Stainless Misalignment
• 4 - 7/8" to 3/4" RS Stainless Tie Rod Misalignments

One of the unique things about this setup is the Safety Misalignment. We combine the misalignment you need with the Safety Washer you also need, eliminating a join point which is a potential stress riser and an obvious shear point. We do not provide the 3/4" bolts you will need. You must determine the length you need and it will vary with the thickness of your High Steer arm & Pitman Arm.

Note

• Toyota's with close mounting/6 shooter knuckles, 3/4 heim steering is recommended for the smaller heim joint heads
• This is a do it yourself style kit that requires welding by a competent person with the right equipment, don't skimp, do it right!
• You will need to check clearances with the steering at lock to see if you need to add any bends before you cut it down to clear diff covers, sway bar mounts, etc
• We supply more DOM than you need because it is way too easy to make a mistake in your calculations and you can always cut tube, growing it back is the hard part!
