Steering and more from Ruffstuff! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Gravel Maker · 05-24-2011, 10:45 PM

Update, as of 6/29/12. We have negotiated a tremendous discount with UPS for our Tube related products and shipping for all Steering kits is only $17!

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

Y Link steering

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

The Safety Misalignment is also a Ruffstuff innovation and by eliminating the need for a safety washer also eliminates another potential failure point. The Hex Head bungs allow for easier precise adjustment.

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

BTW, you can order any kit without the tubing if you can get a better deal closer to home...

Thanks for noticing guys! Had to run down and get more 1.5" X .25" wall tube for these just now, 20 sticks are in stock. No waiting for your better steering setup, and our parts actualy are in stock

Gravel Maker · 05-27-2011, 12:03 PM

That last line says it all, your Better Steering setup. For a better price too

Just do the math...

Well if you only buy one they are $33 but if you buy two the second one is only $29 so $62 a pair before the PBB10 discount and that makes them $55.80 + $6 to ship. Thanks

Thanks Dan you will be getting a call from Doug soon as he is rolling around on a welded drag link he sheered on fordyce. He already borrowed my reamer (I got one at ace hardware in Vacaville) and had better get this done asap. At this price no more excuses...anyone. I am sick and tired of trail tampons with something as simple as a bent tie rod. Its not if it will bend its when

Sorry, I was out at an event and didn't see this til now, if I understood you correctly it would be $229.50 after the discount. Shipping would range from $18 to $30 depending on how far away you are...Give us a call to make sure we are thinking the same...

Gravel Maker · 07-28-2011, 08:46 AM

Thanks for all the orders, they keep us busy

Gravel Maker · 08-02-2011, 04:30 PM

Remember that when you swap that front axle you need to do something about steering too
