Tie rod ends and sleeve?

Hey, I need new tie rod ends and adjustment sleeve and I am wondering of this part is right?

http://www.eadoffroad.com/genright-s...a-60-3-4-inch-

Seems pretty spendy, 54" length 3/4" for the Dana 60

If this is the right part then I will just order it.

Thats WAY to much. If you are looking to build a beefier tierod I would go to Ruffstuff and order a set of 3/4" heims, some tubing adapters for 1.5"OD (1"ID) tubing and order a stick of 1.5", 0.25" wall DOM tubing. Not sure how long you need it but they have it in incremental lengths. Should be about $100.

Super quick shipping as well. I orderded most of my brackets and all of my heim joints from them for my rock crawler.

Yes thanks for the info. But what is the benefit of a Heim joint over and regular Tie rod end? Are these good for a daily driver, or more for a weekend HD toy?
