I was curious if any one has used a kit to build their own tie Rod and drag link. I've seen people use a DIY kit with junk yard axle swaps but never the stock 44. My real question is would it be possible and if so what would it take? Any input would be appreciated.


This is the kit I have in mind.

Before I started the swap to put tons on I had to replace my ylink. Went with Rugged ridge HD crossover. That was a mistake. Similar in price to the Artec kit your looking at. I've ordered alot of stuff from Artec and there quality is on point. I dont know the step by step process of putting those together but I dont think its too difficult.
