What are the other options besides stock Tie Rods?

Am considering a moog inner outer with an aftermarket adjustment sleeve that is lower profile.
Does anyone know of anything like this?

My current setup is Dustans setup that utilized heim joints.
I am swapping every back to traditional rubber isolated joints

I am considering these as well.
Stainless and chromoly rod ends but is 3/8" enough on the tie rod?
It IS 3/8" chromoly though.

I believe my last measure put our tie rods around 14.25 +/-
I can check again tomorrow.

I have never seen the March performance tie rods, but those look very promising. Bear makes a tie rod call the tracker, but they don't sell a S-Series specific part.

I've been looking at the QA1 website. I was thinking of making my own, but using the heim's that have a grease nipple on them.

Re: Aftermarket tie rod setups?

Not exactly sure but I am betting that those tie rods on marchs website are strictly for belt adjustment and are not meant for steering. As far as I know march makes serp belt systems and thats about it so I would find it odd that they would make steering tie rods.

I remember rumor that baer made tie rods or at least a setup that is for a different vehicle that can be adapted.

Good luck with the search!

so the march ends would not be strong enough for everyday use or the occasional launch?

i am very interested in something other than the stock setup. just want to personalize.

They make them for mustangs along with a zillion other companies, upr, competition engineering, steeda etc.. there called "bump steer kits" and are used when a car has been lowered allot or when a tubular k member is used with the stock a arms. I don't know if you could adapt them to our trucks never looked at both of them at the same time or year.

Those are bear trackers for the 2wd The inner tie rod end Is from a corvair I think I had to find a shorter inner than the stock one looking back I should have bought a 2wd inner and shortened it
