I'm stock height and will be going to mini disk brakes with a saginaw box. My question is what is the easiest/cheepest to conect everything. I would like to use 60 series tierod ends because the tapers are larger like the mini arms. If I go this route I will need a custom tie rod and drag link. Does anyone know what size threads the 60 series tierod ends are? or the best place to get some rods made. thanks

Why not go with FJ80 TRE? anyway i have the bottom cap to one of your disk brake knuckles in my garage...i am sure you would like it. I have FJ60/2 TRE and Tie rods i cut down and sleeved on my rig:-) I used FJ60 TRE on the arms that i have from Marlin(old school origonal welded off of Foxfabs rig) and my sky pitman arm...both were made with tapers for FJ80 ends so they are the same taper but a bigger diameter at the threaded end. I have the stock FJ62 Steering arms that came off my truck also which you can have to go on your mini truck knuckles email me your addy so i can send the stuff to you this week/weekend.

nick J was running the same set up you want to except with lift springs in the front so shoot him and email with ?????????

I want the 60 stuff so i can use the stock arms and not buy custom ones, I'm stock height and might end up a little less if I put the schackles through the frames. If I use 80 series stuff I have to have steering arms made up to attach the drag link. I didn't know that bud made 60 series arms or are they the same diamiter as the 80 series stuff.

you should buy my stock LC tie rods, relay rod, 2 drags link, 2" drop pitman arm for the saginaw box, and minitruck arms drilled for the stock LC 40 tie rods.
$100 takes it all, and you'll have many spares! :D

Ok i see your point now, Anyway you can still have my 60 series Steering arms, that way you bolt them up and bolt up the 60 series TR and DR and you are all set. One thing to note is that the TR and DR have diffrent ends on them. I used 2 TR and cut them down to size, the DR has diffrent ends/tapers on it.

Fox let me see about this weekend or maybe friday.
