I am working on WJ knuckle swap and can't seem to find what the taper is for the stock WJ tie rod ends (The ones with the offset).

Is 1.5" per foot?

And then to clarify, if I am going over the knuckle, I would drill the knucles out with a 5/8" drill bit, then use the reamer?

Yeah, I know about those, but I was under the impression the WJ TRE's are bigger than the stock XJ/TJ ones.

The 1-1/2" per foot taper is the same for all the joints(std/1-ton).All the Jeep ends are the smaller size(compared to 1 tons).The ZJ and WJ ends have larger joint "bodies" and larger body threads.

OK, that clears it up for me I think. So WJ rod ends = larger body, but smaller taper.

Thanks!
