I want to relocate my tie rod onto the bottom of the spindle for bump steer issues relating to my new front end geometry.

Many kits are available which are a sleeve with a taper in it that you weld into a hole you drill in the spindle. You turn the existing tapered hole into a cylinder, put an insert in so the taper is reversed, and then weld it in.

These kits are all marketed for applications, mostly 4x4 rock crawling stuff.

"Fits JK"

"Fits TJ"

"Fits Dodge 1 ton"

"Fits GM 1 ton"

"Fits dana 60 1 ton"

I don't know, and can't seem to find, which taper we have (My truck is a 72 1/2 ton GMC) and what tapers match that.

Help???
