- 1-1/2" of drop
- 8"length end to end
- 2-1/2" of 11/16"-18 thread
- When used w/ tube # 91634-42.5 (tube length of 39.5") produces a 50-1/2" eye to eye assembly with 49-1/4" length minimum and 52-1/4" length maximum. (Eye to eye length - 11" = tube length needed)

Drop tie rod ends
These drop tie rods are excellent ! Compared to the old school drop blocks that have been around a long time, these are much safer, they mount and work the way the Ford factory intended, the block type put tremendous pressure on the single bolt holding them in, not the safest thing in the world. Only draw back is shortening your tie rod tube & rethreading one end. You need an 11/16-18 tap, either left or right hand dePending on which end you cut. It would be nice if you could just purchase both, std length heavy duty tubes are already on the market, shorter length would be an easy add & an extra sale.

Fits with dropped axle
These are needed when using a dropped axle. This is a replacement for another set of the dropped tie rod ends that bent in the threads. This time I made sure the tie rod itself was long enough that only a few threads were showing. Hopefully this time nothing bends.
