When I had my shorty I had the draglink and tierod made up out of some 33mm x 9mm seamless had a local machine shop put the correct left and right hand threads on the ends and used the larger internal thread type Nissan tierods ......
I did sleeve the tierod with some 4mm wall thickness pipe aswell ......I did slightly bend the tierod but not bad enough to warrant taking it off , it had some rock rash thats for sure ....
But all in all the 1 that you can buy complete with tre's are pretty well priced once you pay the tierod ends tube and machine cost .
If any1 is interested in making there own up I have the measurements that I made mine to and they worked fine I can post up if any1 wants the info ...
cheers
