RuffStuff 7/8" Heim Steering Kit

Heavy-duty steering upgrade with easier adjustment and stronger tubing

This DIY 7/8" Heim Steering Kit delivers strength, adjustability, and durability for off-road rigs. Designed for use with stock steering positions or high steer arms (requires 3/4" bore in arms or knuckles), it uses hex head weld bungs so you can adjust with a crescent wrench instead of a pipe wrench—saving your tubing and paint from damage. Built with 1.5" x .250" wall DOM tubing and RuffStuff heat-treated chromoly heims, this setup is a major upgrade from stock.

Notes

• Toyotas with close-mounting/6-shooter knuckles should use 3/4" heim steering for smaller head clearance.
• Requires welding by a competent person with proper equipment.
• Check steering clearance at full lock before cutting to length—bends may be needed to clear diff covers or sway bar mounts.
• Extra DOM is included to allow for cutting errors—cutting is easy, growing tube back is not.
• 3/4" bolts not included; length will vary based on arm thickness.
