high steer arm help

[dp87blazer]

Just got done installing my Virginia 4x4 high steer arms, and have a few problems now. My tie rod ends dont have enough thread exposed to put in the cotter pin, I need like 3 or 4 threads more. What tie rod and drag link ends part numbers should i run.

Tie rod ends Not factory drag-link ends i had the same problem so i had my 60 arm reamed to accept the larger and deeper drag-link ends.

early 3 pice tie rod ends

I think they are es2234r tie rod ends. i just found the same problem on my pitman arm also. only 3 or 4 threads are exposed. what end are you running off the pitman arm.

what size reamer did you use?

I took the arm and the drag-link end to a 4x4 shop and had them do it. i think its 7/8 its hard to find a machine shop can also do the mod.

The drag-link end's have a greater range of motion than the tie rod ends and are bigger

My pitman arm was already reamed for the larger ends.

Nice find that was going to be my option if i could not get it done affordable, i paid 20 bucks to have mine reamed.
