    Anyone know if a straight drag link with RT offset end and LT straight rod end would potentially give me the clearance for my ram?

    Hi guys,
    Im in the process of building my tie rod and drag link.
    Just some food for thought on the drag link. Ive read through this thread and i dont recall seeing anything mentioned about this, but if it was mentioned forgive my oversight. I an suplementing the standard 1ton tre on the pitman arm side of the drag link with one of RuffStuff's "High Angle" tre's. The shank is significantly longer so I will need to use a shorter section of DOM for the link. Anyone using one of them? RuffStuff claims it allows for 25* of misalignment, a good bit more than the standard. Due to the bend in the link I will be using a standard 1ton tre on the knuckle side, but if you where to run a straight link with no bend then you could use both high angle TRE's.
    Im headed out to the shop tonight, ill update on how it turns out.

    Update:

    Tie rod and drag link are burned in, though im thinking ill ad plug welds to the tube adapters just to be safe.
    As promised here are some pictures.
