This kit features a robust construction using 1-1\/4 inch inner diameter SAE 1018 steel, which is cold rolled and drawn through dies to achieve a wall thickness of 1\/4 inch. The use of true DOM tubing ensures there are no seams or welds that could fail under stress, providing a reliable solution for off-road applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis conversion kit includes heavy-duty 7\/8 inch rod ends with standard tapered ends, allowing for compatibility with stock knuckle applications.
