Default Tie Rod Ends

So I am thinking about replacing all 4. I need 3 RH and 1 LH threaded rod ends, correct? I plan on drilling, taping and installing zero fitting before installing them. Any thoughts or tips?

Excuse my ignorance, what's "zero fitting"?
Do you mean zerk fittings? For the TRE's? If so, there are TRE's you can buy with the zerk fittings already installed.
Good luck getting the old TRE's out. Use plenty of heat and penetrating oil. If you've ever considered going with heavy duty drag link and track rod, now is a good time to do it. It'll save you the headache of removing the old TRE's from your old rods.

Yeah, rovahfarm has the best selection of ends. Last fall Trevor told me he was getting in some that had zerks and castellated nuts, my preferred configuration.

Great advice. Buy'em with the zerk (zero was autocorrect fail) fittings already installed and the HD bars. Any advice where to get the HD rods? I'll try rovahfarm for the ends.

Justin at Lucky8llc.com has a large selection of HD rods. Give him a call and see what he's got.
