Default B Lee Offroad Steering Question

i have tried reaching out to B Lee Offroad a few times now with no luck. I also searched before posting, again no luck. I need to purchase new heim joints for my B Lee steering kit, and with their website still not working and no response from them, I need to purchase them elsewhere. Does anyone know what the threads are for the Heim joints into the tie rod/drag link? In short, I am wondering if anyone knows if the Cavfab steering rebuild kit would work with my B Lee kit.

Thanks for any help!

I've never seen a B Lee kit, but from what I've seen on forums and in pictures I'd be willing to gamble the cav fab rebuild kit would fit the B Lee. If it were me I'd order the cav fab rebuild
Kit.

Don't know details, but from what I've read on the facebook, B Lee's split up into 2 new companies:

Trail Logic: https://traillogicindustries.com/xj-...ance-steering/
Big 6 Motorsports: https://big6motorsports.com/products...rance-steering

Both sell a kit that's probably identical to yours. Might be worth reaching out to them about your heims.

So I find myself in need of same heims to fix my steering. Have you any luck in contacting anyone or find replacement joints? I cannot even find a Big 6 Motorsports website.

Big 6 is now nomore. Sorry. You can contact xj88 as he designed a lot of those components, and now works for another suspension company. He can point you in the direction needed

This is why I don't like heim joint kits. The joints wear out. That being said, if you cannot find a direct replacement from an off road company, you will be able to replace them at a bearing shop. Heims are sold by size and strength rating. Get the strongest possible and you will be able to get them in right and left hand threads. But you will have to take in what you have so they can match it
