Steering and more from Ruffstuff!

I spoke with Dave on Saturday. We're gonna swap out the otk tie rod for the utk tie rod and move on. Your Customer service has been fantastic. Thank you
 
Hey Dan, I ordered the ylink setup for my XJ and I've got a few questions before I go ahead and start taking measurements and taking out the stock steering... I'm running with a stock HP D30, ordered the kit to use UTK and my question is will I have clearance issues with coil buckets/diffcover? Diff cover is stock. Swaybar brackets are going to get cut off regardless... thanks.

I had to trim the edges of my coil buckets and relocate the axle side track bar mount almost 1/2" closer to axle centerline.

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...

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 :)

This needs to be brought back up to the top!

I am getting fairly bothered by the companies using weaker items (Tubing in particular) and claiming their much more expensive kits are the strongest. They simply are not! So before you buy anything do your homework and I am pretty sure you will decide on Ruffstuff Specialties for your steering...
