Who all makes them? With and/or ends would be nice.
I`ve seen Blazen`s and DIY4X`s.There both about the same price.

Yep, i've got trevors 1.5" x .250" wall DOM HD tie rod. It uses the Moog 2010L/2010R tie rod ends.

Im liking his a lot right now. How theres aflat spot on the end to adj the length.
Yep, Trevor makes some quality stuff. I liked the fact that it has flats on it as well.
www.bulletproofsteering.com When Im ready to swap out my stock tie-rod im going with the rock proof tie rod 1.5" OD with a .5" wall thickness, you might as well call it a battering ram
The polar moment of inertia, basically the deciding factor for bending of tubing, has diameter as a quadratic (i.e. the equation for bending involves the moment of inertia, the moment of inertia for round tube uses the radius to the 4th power).
This means that diameter is many times more important than wall thickness. As long as you won't dent the tubing (~.250" for most of our applications) the bigger diameter tubing will be MUCH stronger. I've bent my 1.5" .250" wall DOM tie rod a bit, 1.75" or 2" .250" wall would probably be pretty damn hard to bend.
1.75" .250" wall tubing is 85% harder to bend than 1.5" .250" wall tubing. 2" is more than 3 times stronger in bending than 1.5" tubing. Again, the diameter of the tubing has much, much more to do with bending than the thickness of the tube.
IMO at least as big as 1.75" .250" wall tubing will be practically unbendable for a tie rod.

I like the trail proof , but how much? Thats my 1st concern. Because Anything I gets gonna be better than stock.www.bulletproofsteering.com When Im ready to swap out my stock tie-rod im going with the rock proof tie rod 1.5" OD with a .5" wall thickness, you might as well call it a battering ram
Did you notice that the 1.5" tubing is .5"wall not .250" wall? How does that factor in?
Compared to which? 1.5" .500" wall tubing will be harder to bend than 2" .250" but both are overkill IMO. Hell, you'd probably break a knuckle before you could bend either of those tie rods.

anyone got prices on these??
IIRC i paid 85.00 from WFO plus shipping.
