How does a WJ and XJ pitman arm TRE hole compare? Can a WJ drag link TRE bolt up to a XJ pitman arm without reaming to a different size? We are just going to cut and insert rod inside the stock WJ tie rod on this knuckle swap. Are the WJ TREs stronger or weaker than XJs?
 
Not sure of the tre but the bottom is a different taper. I did the wj knuckle swap, but went with offset 1 ton tre kit from barnes.
 
Using all WJ TREs (at least this is the plan, he only has 34 inch tires) just need to know if the stock WJ drag link will fit an XJ pitman arm hole

It should, taper is the same for both.

I bought a tapered reamer off of amazon for cheap when I did Chevy TREs. You may want to do the same. A lot of the tapers are the same, just not sure how deep the taper is reamed in the pitman arm.
