Creeper Joints
$39.00
These heavy duty rod ends are ideal for today's flexible suspension systems. Super strong, Creeper Joints will hold up to years of punishment. The outer shell is a single forged piece. The inner flex ball is made from 8620 tool steel and rides on high quality polyurethane bushings. Heavy-duty, hardened steel washers hold the joint together. Creeper Joints are super flexible and allow for up to 40 degrees of movement when used with spacers. A threaded grease fitting is provided on top for lubrication. The flex ball is drilled for cross lubrication flow from the shell to the link mount bolt. Each joint includes a jam nut!
Three different flex ball sizes; 9/16", 5/8" & 18mm, allow you to choose the right size to match your application. The threaded section is either 1" or 1-1/4" in diameter with 14 or 12 threads per inch respectively.
Creeper Joints are also available in a shackle mount for use with leaf springs. Using a Creeper Joint on the shackle end of a leaf spring reduces spring binding and increases suspension flex. Creeper Joint shackle mounts are sold in pairs and do not include the shackles, bolts, or spring bushings.

Tie Rod Kit
$152.00
Trail-Gear has made the perfect kit for building tie rod links for use with a double-ended ram. Based on our testing and experience with kits like these, we know that the failure point is always in the tie rod ends, which is why Trail-Gear uses only our own brand of Chromo Rod Ends. The main body of each rod end is 100% 4340 chromoly, and the ball of each rod end is made out of AISI 52100 material and then hard chrome-plated for an extremely tough finish. We also added tie rod tubing that is 100% seamless DOM, and to top it off the weld in bungs are machined out of solid billet. With these components in place we feel that this kit is so strong it stands apart from every other kit on the market.
This kit is also perfect match for our Rock Assault™ Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kits.
Kit includes:
- (2) Tie rod tubing (100% DOM)
- (2) Right-hand threaded rod ends (Chromoly)
- (2) Left-hand threaded rod ends (Chromoly)
- (2) Right-hand threaded jam nut
- (2) Left-hand threaded jam nut
- (2) ¾”-16 right-hand threaded weld-on bung (Billet)
- (2) ¾”-16 left-hand threaded weld-on bung (Billet)

Misalignment Spacers
$16.00
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.

O.D. Tube Clamps

TG Hi-Lift Jack Mount
$33.00
Trail Gear’s Hi-Lift Jack Mount is laser cut from 3/16” thick steel and then CNC formed. The ends of the mount are coped so that they can be welded to 1 3/4" tubing. We use a 1/2" thick bolt that has a precision hole drilled into it so that a hair-pin/cotter style pin can be inserted. This will keep the nut from rattling off and ensure that you never lose your hi-lift jack on the trail. We also added rubber pads that go between the jack and the mounts and a Velcro strap to hold the handle in place so that no vibration will be heard from any of the mounting locations. A second hole was placed on the mount so that you can put a padlock on the hi-lift to keep it totally secure from loss or theft.
Product is shipped unpainted, must be welded on.
