$429.95

Availability: 3 in stock (can be backordered)

Option 1 – I prefer not to take measurements. I agree that my heim steering system will not be returnable due to fitment or installation issues. I am certain that I have the correct steering knuckles, pitman arm, front differential, and that my steering gearbox is in the factory location.

Option 2 – Please send me instructions on how to correctly measure my heim steer.

Our tough steering systems use 1.25″ DOM with a .2815″ wall thickness threaded (no weld in insert) for maximum strength and clearance. We attach the drag link to the tie rod via a saddle to maintain factory geometry and to eliminate the use of long spacers and additional torque on the passenger side knuckle. We use misalignment spacers around the high-quality Teflon lined 3/4″ rod ends and GR8 bolts to prevent binding and allow full articulation of the joint. Requires drilling out your knuckles and pitman arm to 3/4″ (except with our new Dana 44 knuckles that are machined 3/4″). It can be installed over or under the knuckle with included hardware if lifting the vehicle over 6″. We include all-metal lock nuts and cotter pins to drill and secure everything in place. Comes black powder coated with detailed instructions.

To get you the correct one we need two measurements on your vehicle; from center to center of your knuckles where the tie rod goes through and from the center of the pitman arm to the center of the PASSENGER side knuckle. These kits are based on a stock location steering box. We want both of these measurements because they will vary depending on lift height, steering box, and the front end/knuckle setup you have. Also, note that there is a significant amount of adjustment with 2 joints on each linkage.

Check your local regulations before ordering as some states will not pass inspection with heim joints in the steering system. Please note that these systems are not compatible with a shock-mounted to the front of the C-Cap. Shocks must be behind the coil.

    This steering system is super beefy and is of the highest quality. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The powder coat is beautiful and it’s nice having the extra adjustability.
