I only have two answers. One, put a Dana 60F under it.
Put a less aggressive, radial tire on it, and it would probably let the rod ends live longer.
I myself could not drive a Dana 44 truck with 37" tires across town without breaking an axle shaft, tie rod ends were the least of my worries back in the day before I had a 60F.

The main reason for you that I recommended the 60 is the fact that the steering tie rod ends are huge compared to the 44 offerings, sorry I got off the track of reasons for the 60.

The axle is not an issue, the tires will remain, I have no issues with any of the front end components other than the tie rods, this vehicle has been running these tires daily for about 3 years now, it just seems that the tierods are rather undersized, I'm looking for an aftermarket rod end or bar assy that can replace the OEM components that are severe duty rated
Thanks Mike
Mike I would compare a dana 60 to a 44 ends taper. You could taper ream to the larger size if needed. You also could compare the gm 1987 and older ends. The cross tube is easy enough to fab up.

I thought of going this way Pete, and already compared the rod ends, but I thought I'd ask for some ideas, or input on an aftermarket replacement before modding the taper in the arms
Thanks Mike
