and the size on the hiems won't matter even though I have a d30? Where do you like to order your hiems from?

Also somethings gets welded into the rod end to allow the hiem to adjust to get proper steering alignment right? Sorry for the noob questions but Bette to ask someone with experience then to spend a bunch of money making mistakes lol

Yes, you cut the DOM the length you need and then weld in a bung that is threaded for the heim to adjust.
Check out the Ruffstuff steering kit and look at all the parts on their site.

thank you for the help I was just looking at the their page they have exactly what I'm looking for should I buy one of their heim kits, also if I'm going to do the tie rod and drag link I would order one kit right hand thread which would include 2 and then a left had thread kit which includes 2 total of 4 and then dom tubing? Sound right to you guys?
