I just got this jeep about a month ago, been working on it ever since I guess the rear axle tube spun so I couldnt get it alighned.So fixed that then the front rear trac bar had to be adjusted so I finnaly got the rears in straight. Now my problem is i have play in the heim joints on both tie rod ends, does anyone know the thread size I need to put new heims into tie rod? OR I wouldnt mind using real tie rod ends just cant figure out what threads are on the iron rock setup. Thanks for the help

Yea good idea, I checked the website it said 3/4 I measured them I didn't think they where that big looked like 11/16. I'll figure it out tomorrow , I guess

iv been looking at this setup myself and on their website they offer two different setups.. one setup is 1/2inch tie rod ends(bolt on) the other is 5/8inch which, I'm guessing reaming of the knuckle will be required.

Threaded portion should be the same size for both.

Agreed with Steve ^ the thread size/pitch of the heim is a different thing than the size of the hardware used to install the kit.

your right, tie rod and drag link use 3/4"-16 thread

I have been running the 5/8 IRO setup for about 5 yrs. Very strong. I have no complaints.
