7/8" Heim Tie Rod Kit

R1530-Kit-1 – 7/8" Heim Tie Rod Kit

Heavy-duty tie rod upgrade built to handle serious off-road abuse

If you’ve bent or broken your stock tie rod, this is the replacement you should have started with. Made from 1.5" diameter, .250" wall DOM tubing and paired with 7/8" heat-treated chromoly heims, this kit is designed to take hit after hit without flinching. It’s a serious strength upgrade over thin-wall or solid tie rods, and it’s built the RuffStuff way—overkill from the start.
