1 ton utk steering question
Is there anyone that has the utk kit from jcr that can help me by measuring the tie rod and drag link length. Any kit that uses the gm 1 ton tie rods will work. Thanks

Did the 43 inches for the tie rod include the weld on ends? So overall total welded length? Any luck with the drag link measure?

That was just the tie rod. The exposed ends of the inserts will probably add roughly 2 inches. Haven't done much more, been tied up with wedding plans and trying to buy a house
