so i have your 1.25 Tie rod and TRE but im wanting to change the ends to heim joints as i will have a d44 knuckle on one side and 10b on other side, as the tapers will be opposite. so i was wanting to drill them straight and put heims in just not sure what ones to get. thanks for any input
 
You'll have to get a different tie rod, the thread pitch on a heim will be different and the tie rod itself will need to be longer as the heim joints are much shorter than a tie rod end.

I'm running 7/8 x 3/4 heims on my blazer and that cleared out most of the taper.
 
sweetk30 gave me a diff suggestion that im gonna go with, thanks for the input though.
