This is kind of an offshoot from our DOM sales & its about time! We have taken way too long to bring these to market. The prices some companies charge are out of this world for these simple items so we are going to serve them notice right here!

Steering components from Ruffstuff Specialties using our own Heat & Cryo Treated Chromoly Heims or GM 1 Ton Tie Rod Ends.

I priced these out using a fair pricing model we have developed (we do have to make money or we won't be around long) but after I was done I compared our prices to several other companies and was sure I had made a misstake! Our pices couldn't be that much lower than theirs could it? I did my pricing again & again, always with the same result. Okay, our pricing is simply more fair I guess ;)

We have also uncovered some interesting Tie Rod Ends for those of you having problems with Diff Cover clearance, pretty damned cool with the same strength specs of a standard GM 1 Ton TRE...

Offset TRE Kit

They are available alone or as a kit

All of our kits using Heims also use our unique Safety Misalignment & Hex Bungs

All of our kits give you choices that can save you money, be stronger, and be more versatile. Look closely through the selections and make your decisions carefully. Keep in mind DOT regulations about Heims in steering. Heims are not legal in any state for highway use when used in steering. They may perform better but are not DOT approved, use your judgement...

These hae been on our site for about a month and it really seems you like them with 6-8 sets shipping daily :)

Back in the mix, added these to the new website when we opened it up but this is the first advertising for them!

WOW, Those offset tie rod ends are just what I need to fix my clearance issues. Will they hold up to full hydraulic steering?

I never even considered using TRE's with full hydro? I don't se why not, you ould not have any of the lateral travel that is so hard on TRE's...

Just what is in the way so much? The panhard?

A little discovery, I forgot to state that the tubing size was 1.5" x .25" wall...;)

A couple more orders so far this morning, thanks!

Thanks, you guys are leading the race with orders for these through the weekend so far :)

I wish I saw those offset TRE's before I did a little ghetto fab on my tie rod for clearance :shaking:

They are pretty cool, they had been in testing for about a year...

Few more sets over the weekend, thanks for all the orders!

dan, i have the es2233L on he passenger side of my tie rod, would it be acceptable to put on of these offset joints on just the drivers side to pull the tie rod away from the cover?

And yes, these are all in stock, not just imaginary in stock ;) Really in stock!

Thats the key! In stock ;)

dan, PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! another company here on pirate has officially lost my personal and my company's business for life after waiting over a month for HEIMS!!!! i'll never go back to the company with the skull!! keep up with the new products and fantastic customer service and you'll have a customer in me and my customers for many years to come!!!

The skull is cause they're dead! I need some heim setups for my rockwells Dan. Can you call me today about this and a few other things.
Thanks,
Bobby

Thank you, we don't always succeed but we do try, 9,000 heims arrived today...1,300 - 1.25" RH and 1,150 - 1.25" LH were among the totals, much more of the smaller sizes. They could always simply call us and buy them, CIA like I do ;)

Call me now Bobby, I am off the phone...

Very nice mister.:smokin:

Thank you Bobby!

Another 10 sticks of 1.5 X .25 DOM in today, thanks for all the orders!

No thank you Dan! Can't wait to get the new heims in place for my rockwells full hydro steering!

Thanks Bobby!

We sell at least 4 or 5 of these everyday, thanks everyone!

Great Steering at a great price and all pieces are in stock :)

Time to get a kit on the way, and I DO NOT mean time to get it back ordered ;) This stuff is on the shelves :)

Hell yeah its on the shelves, my shelves that is. I ordered mine on a Thursday and recieved it on Saturday. From CA to GA. I got the 7/8" heims and man they are beautiful and the tube adapter are freaking beefy!
Thanks again Dan!
Bobby

The USPS cannot be beaten for speed or price!

Just ran out of 1.5" X .25" wall, 10 sticks due in the morning though :)

The 1.5" x .25 tube is here!

Get a set now ;)

Dan, can you tell me what the max angle the 7/8" heims with 3/4" misalignment spacers can run at before binding? Considering using this setup on my 06 super duty dana 60 but making everything double shear :D

With a 3/4" bore that would be 26 degrees, with 5/8" 34 degrees, thanks

We speak Steering ;)

Just back from the Petaluma LC swap meet, I finally won something in the raffle!

The Steering kits are very popular, thanks for making them so ;)

Does the Heim Steering come with the insert so you can drill your knuckle, and run it OTK if you want to?

It dosen't come with it but we have them if you need them...:) I don't want to raise the cost on the people that don't need them ;)

I made my own tie rod for a single ended ram using 1.5" x 0.5"wall dom and I can't keep the thing straight and out of the diff cover.

I made two so I'd have a spare. First one bent quickly and I couldn't get it straight enough so i put the spare on and sleeved the front of it with 1.5" x .25" angle iron
It bent badly too!! and I can't unbend that sucker!

FYI the tie rod ends seem fine, only 8 runs total on everything though

just thought I'd throw that info out there

Dan makes some great stuff and I'm looking at his stuff to go with a double ended ram.

Are you sure you don't have some kind of bind going on there? 1.5" X .5" wall would take a 40 ton press to bend? It's actually pretty amazing the TRE's held up to that.

Everything is in stock, come & get'em ;)

Time to upgrade :)

Just got another tubing delivery, everything is in stock!

Time to step it up ;)

nope, just low steer and ramming stuff - bad driving!
I think the TRE's are getting sloppy but I'm impressed they haven't broken

what about the added angle iron too! I've smacked somethings pretty hard!

u know what - I'm not sure it's 0.5" now - gonna have to check
but now that I'm looking to rebuilt it no one makes bungs for that size so I'm probably wrong.

Let me know...

Just got my 3/4"x3/4" steering kit in and it is beefy. After looking at the parts, i have no fear of bending or braking my steering parts from RuffStuff, just like the diff cover I got, I now fear the rest of my Toyota parts.

Great job producing great parts at awesome prices and having fast/cost effectve shipping :beer::beer:

And there is a reason ;)

This is a serious upgrade :)

Is it time to think upgrade? Or simply time to fix the bent Tie Rod?

Upgrade to a stronger alternative ;)

Always a fair price with fair shipping to go with it!

A long and busy week here! Only one more day ;)

Well, I took my weekly 1/2 day off ;) Time to get back to work!

41 sticks of 1.5" x .25" wall so far this month! I would say these are popular ;)

Keep the orders coming and we can keep the price down ;)

Thanks! It feels very good to find a product that we can really lower the price on from what you have been used to paying while increasing both the strength and quality :)

Fair prices are just that, Fair! We do have to make a profit to survive but we don't have to feel guilty about it ;)

Thanks for the orders!

now that I made my first ruffstuff purchase I might get into trouble with my credit card soon :p

Not in particular but it would not be too much trouble to put together a kit...

Time to get it together before EJS :)
