what size tre's do i want?? what size DOM tubing do i get so i can just thread the tubing? Anyone thats done it could you help me?

[HeavyMetal]

1.5" x 1/4" wall DOM will do u fine
get 7/8 x18 threaded tube inserts...unless youre hellbent on threading the actual tubing for some reason...the common GM ends dont have a common tap/threadpitch

get chevy 1 ton ends....part numbers found:

[Jeepbonehead]

the only reason i want to thread the tube is because i can;t weld
i can easily match up a die and thread the tubing

[Zullock Holmes]

will beat me to it.... thats the same stuff my steering is made with

[Ktmracer419]

you are sticking 1 tons under a jeep, but don't weld?

i would put some money aside for one, it will save you money, and get you free meals from your friends, and it comes in handy for everything jeep related.

[Jeepbonehead]

if i buy tre's from parrts mike are they tapered?? if so how do i make the holes on my d60 right to accept them over the knuckle

[Ktmracer419]

pretty sure every tie rod end is tapered.

depends on the size and taper of the original tie rod end holes, you might just be able to ream them out from above, or you may need to drill them out and get inserts

will you clear the leaf springs with otk?

[Jeepbonehead]

yeah

watch also that you can clear your trackbar and diff cover when you got it cranked full R or L my JCR 1-ton hit my track bar bracket at full turn even under the knuckle

[Jeepbonehead]

no sir i do not

[Jeepbonehead]

so i got 2 TRE's 1 LHT one RHT i just need jam nuts and dom does any one have the thread dies??

[grundlepunch]

i would really rather get the tube inserts and find someone to weld them for you. would be a super quick welding job and i would trust to more then hand threading tube yourself. i donno thats just my opinion.
