hey everybody

well im looking to build a set up similar to this
http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/Steering-Kit-34quot-with-High-Misalignment-Spacers_p_1335.html

im going to do it on my own though and save a few bucks. ruffstuffspecialties has a good deal on rod ends with high misalignment spacers, heims and rod inserts and 2 are 35 bucks
http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/Steering-Kit-34quot-with-High-Misalignment-Spacers_p_1335.html

now what are safety spacers, and what do they do.

im thinking of buying 2 of the high misalignment spacers. 1 for each end of the drag link (pitman arm, and pass side knuckle)

and on the tie rod it looks like ill need 4 safety washers. i cant really tell what they do, or their purpose?

if it matters its going to be 1.5 inch DOM with .250 walls, ran on a waggy 44 with hydro assist:cheers:

The safety washers are so that, in a single sheer application, the bolt head and hiem joint sphere can't get pulled right thought the hiem joint body.

You'll need two misalignment spacers for each end of the drag link.
