Don't be fooled by lookalike rod ends, they are not all the same. Trail-Gear rod ends are the strongest on the market, tested, and proven. The main body of this rod end is 100% 4340 chromoly and then finished with a zinc coating, the ball is made out of AISI 52100 material and then hard chrome-plated for a tough finish. The liner is made out of a teflon. The best part is that there is no need to pay for jam nuts, because Trail-Gear rod ends come with them.

These boots are made from a special compound of UV resistant NBR (Naturally Blended Rubber) and are a direct replacement for our hi-steer TRE’s. Installation is a snap, all that is required is some grease and a pair of snap ring pliers.

High misalignment spacers increase misalignment by continuing the spherical diameter of the ball and allowing the edge of the ball to rotate into the body of the rod end. This allows greater articulation, more suspension travel, and longer life of the rod end.
The inner diameter of the high misalignment spacer is smaller than the inner diameter of the rod end, so a smaller bolt is required. We have listed a conversion chart that will allow you to easily see what size bolt you will need when using our misalignment spacers. Machined from 303 stainless steel.
Misalignment spacers are sold in pairs.
Note: Standard misalignment spacers are only used when the width of the ball is too narrow for the bracket it is being used with.

If you already have a hi steer kit you can simply purchase the longer drag link and tie rod, but if you are buying the Rock Assault™ Front Axle Housing and the Rock Assault™ High Steer Kit at the same time you can purchase them altogether on the high steer kits page.
