He's probably right, they're pretty tiny.

isn't 11/32 about the diameter of a ball point pin? <IMG SRC="smilies/question.gif" border="0">

I use a combination of both and I have never had a problem. The tie rod isint the problem its the DL tube which you can sleve. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

OK, I had a little too much beer. It's 11/16-18. Yes the YJ links are pretty puny.

I have 3/4" thread tre's avail. with the taper for a YJ/CJ. The taps are much cheaper/ easier to find for 3/4" and you get a bigger ID. CJ on this board runs them on his 7 with a front 30.
