Looks similar to the kit from "goferit", might check them out instead, fitment on that kind of thing can be finicky and rather important, so going with an established brand might fare better.

I used similar tapered inserts from Tereflex on my flip. However you need to plan this out a little better. Due to the shape of the drag link, you cannot just flip it. Aftermarket stuff that flip also supply another drag link, and the all have tie rod roll, as in sloppy steering

Just avoid inserts. Ream it and do it right the first time.

Don't see how you could ream in this application, he just wants to flip the stock tie rod end.

Agreed. The only time you can ream is when you go to a larger size or start a new hole.

I have the goferit flip with Currie steering. Absolutely no sloppy steering or insert issues.
