I currently running a custom draglink & tierod made from 1.25"x.375"wall DOM that are drilled/tapped 11/16" for the stock CJ TREs.

After trying to get by using a CJ/YJ/TJ/XJ pitman arm (about an 1"+ too short) and suffering with 60% steering, I'm going to a Waggy drop arm (correct length), but the taper is for the larger Waggy size taper. I don't really want to drill/tap just one end of the draglink for the 3/4" Waggy threads just to fit the pitman... Nor do I want to have 1 odd TRE, but short of welding in the pitman (not real hip on going this route) & reaming to the smaller taper, may be the best option...

So, does anyone know of a TRE that has the small CJ 11/16" threads, but the larger Waggy taper?
Part#?
Make/model/application?

:beer:
 
cut the threads off of the waggy one and weld the CJ threads on it.

maybe you could turn the threads off of the 3/4" and "tap" the 11/16" threads, maybe
 
Would this help you?
It's a grade 8 3/4" bolt machined to fit the waggy pitman are & then put a 3/4" heim on it. I ran these on the willys for several years & never had a problem 1 on each knuckle & 1 on the pitman are. This is the only one I have left. You are welcome to it.

OK pm me your addy & I'll get it out tomorrow. You can send me a check. I am trying to stay away from paypal.
 
Couple of options available. Since the taper would be in the same direction it would actually hold itself in, 680 locktite, weld. I could key it but that would just keep it from twisting and I would have to remove too much material to put the key it for me to be happy with it.
