    Hey gang,

    OK, anyone know if there is a heavier-than-stock TRE that will fit the stock taper?

    Been thinking about rod ends, but can't really get around the double shear problem.

    And while I'm at it, does anyone have a good link to a site that shows/explains the different tapers of TRE's?

    TIA.

    spydercustoms.com has big tubes with either heim joints or tie rod ends. In their website look under components and you'll find what you need.:v6:

    How do you convert a stock d25/27 knuckle to a double shear joint? I'd love to see any ideas.

    FYI- M38A1s used a heavy duty TRE that has 3/4" threads instead of the smaller civilian size of 5/8" Order those. :hurrican:
