I have the Rugged Ridge steering on my XJ, and well, I'm thinking about replacing the tie rods on the drag link only with heim/flex joints. Does anybody by chance know the thread and pitch off hand? Thanks in advance.

Get rid of the RR steering, it's soft material. If you going to go to heims get them through Ruff Stuff, vendor. Great price and quality. 3/4" minimum and some 1 1/5" x .250 wall chromoly tubing. The your done, no more problems!!!

If anyone is planning on throwing there RR setup away I would be glad to pay to ship it to me to see how it works. I would love to figure out some sort of fix for the thing.
