I just bought the DIY ruffstuff 1 ton inverted t steering kit and plan on making it this week.... But I am gonna have someone else weld the tubing to the threaded insert....
I have a 6.5" lift (not that it should matter much) and a dana30... Can someone measure the length of their drag link and tie rod tubing for me so I know what lengths to cut? All I need is the length if the tubing not the rod ends. Thanks!

i would think in general the tie rod would be the same length but i think if you had a larger lift the drag link would be longer? maybe send serious a pm.
