I am looking as well sir.
What about just reverse reaming the tie rod mount and just flip the stock tie rod?
Would need to know what reamer to buy.
Anybody know the taper of the stock ream?
Another idea.
Just use a tapered sleeve like the Jeep guys use in there flip kits.
You drill out the spindle install the tapered sleeve from the bottom and flip your stock tie rod.
Just need the correct sleeve.
The bolt came loose twice on me. I'm anal and always checked them. The first time they were pretty loose. The second time they were just a little loose. If you have a set I would check them every 500 miles to make sure they are tight. Just fyi
I assumed that's how your do it when you mentioned flipping the tie rods. Any decent machine shop would easily be able to make the sleeves with the provided angle. I would have them oversized and slotted so they would be self pressing when the joint was installed.
No. You don't even want to know the headaches that go into setting the front end up correctly on an IFS 4x4.Is that what they do to the Duramax?
Couldn't hurt!Blue Loctite?
Blue Loctite?
Quoted for awesomeness.I have mine installed for 4 months 3000 miles or so. I auto cross is every morning on the way to work. I have had no issues and never once have come lose on me. I will say I am about to redo front suspension and plan on drilling out spindle to one size and using a bolt to reinstall the kit. I will post pictures once done.

Well I'm glad to hear that. Unfortunately I also seen my fair share of fasteners that failed from over torquing, lack of thread locker, reusing locknuts and so on.
