well, this is my next upgrade.my last run through "nailer wash" smashed my steering stabilizer all to hell, and bent my tie rod.
so... rather than replacing this again, i am going to upgrade to a different system.
i have done a bit of research on this, and decided that the most cost effective, and strongest steering arangement i can adapt to my dana 30 is as follows.
now i am still in the research phase here...
so dont run out and buy this stuff until i have it on my rig, and tested out.
BEAR IN MIND THAT THE PICS POSTED ARE BORROWED FROM ANOTHER FORUM, AND ARE USING A DANA 44.
i will be taper drilling my dana 30 knuckles to receive the new TRE's, and have to taper drill the one tre to receive the drag link end.

A very popular Inverted T setup is to use '85 Chevy Blazer steering joints and custom tubes.
parts i will need for my application: per the pirate thread.
ES2233L mounted to steering arm, with stock steering stabilizer hole re-tapered so that ES2234R on end of draglink will fit to it.
ES2234R of tie rod attached to drivers side steering arm.
ES2027L at Pitman arm
GM P/N's for the jam nuts (discontinued)
14024806
14024805
And all of these are 7/8-18" on the threaded ends
a stock pitman arm, and a universal steering stabilizer.
DOM tubing, what diameter?
