That looks sweet, nice and solid, but i would think that is overkill. I am thinking about doing something like that right now but i want to mount the draglink heim onthe tierod that way the heim is vertical instead of horizontal and has all the flex u need.

I'm not sure I like welding on my steering arm. I'd certainly spend time researching to determine if such welding is safe. Evey photo I've seen showing welded steering arms or Pittman arms have bee caveatted with "don't do this".

Absolutely they do, and in fact there are probably over 40 of them in use on my rig right now.

No they don't fit xj knuckles, you'll need a riemer
