Is the taper on the tie rod end the same as the drag link,the reason I ask is that my drag link is stuffed and i have a spare tie rod. so the idea is to cut the tie rod at one end and retap , then weld a bracket to it for the dampener and may sl. also what length is ideal for rear arms as I have an old set that I was thinking of cuting and strengthening so just after a length, plan to run 35's And what tricks have you's have for tightening a GQ lsd. cheers phill.

Their will be an engineer issue with any welds in the steering

Patrol man don't muck around when it comes to rear arms. Had a bad experience last w-end with trailing arms. Broke both bottom arms, bent a top 1 & snapped pinion not very nice. Go & get a set of good quality arms like the comp trucks r using.

its to my knowledge that heating cutting or welding any steering compnents etc or fitting adjustable components in qld at least ism illegal
just thoughtn id mention it as the repercussions in the event of an accident couild be nasty
