don't you have the DE ram that I gave miles? it was supposed to come with that front end I thought. You already can have rod ends on teh way (did you send the check?) and clevis ends are easy. then its down to making some 6" arms for it. its so much easier to protect a static ram with short tie rods up high then a tie rod with a ram in the way. make a dozer blade like heath, only not with 1/4" plate on the front laughing1 seriously, if you need help on the clevises and arms, I can probably whip a set up this week and send them with the rod ends. I have some hardened 3/8" alloy pins that I'm going to drill through the arm and into the knuckle and use a reamer to get it .001" below .375 and drive the pins in. I stole this idea from rustynuts, but it helps with the sheer loads (bolts aren't made to take shear). its not as good as keying, but 100x better than just bolting. the other way is to steal some 9/16" studs out of a 44 (okay 3 of them so you have enough) and drill/tap your knuckles for 9/16" [currently 1/2"] and then taper the tops of the holes to the same angle as a 3/4 ton lug nut adn put monster 1 ton lug nuts on it. won't go anywhere then. get with me on what you want to do. If you don't have miles's ram, disregard I guess.
