Replacement TRE for our bolt-in steering kits. This includes the heim, tapered bolt, and all misalignment hardware and locknuts. Select application and year model in options. This does not fit any other product than our part number 1013-STANDARD, 1013-FOX, 1013-1500, 1013-PSC, 1039, and 1039-DL. If you do not own one of these products, do not order this. It is a replacement package of pre-assembled parts.

Q: what all comes with this? I need 4 heim ends with both knuckle tapered bolts and draglink tapered bolts. Is it cheaper to go this way?

Asked by: Jesse Halseth - 6/18/2019

A: Each TRE is a complete replacement that threads into the tie rod or drag link. They are all sold separately, so you just purchase the one you need instead of having to buy all 3. You can buy heims and tapered bolts by themselves on here, what you gain by getting the full TRE is all of the machined hardware that goes with them. We sell them both ways so you only have to buy what you need.

Q: My drag link to pitman arm DOR bolt broke . 2014 ram diesel. 4x4 . what are the reasons for this failer. have steering box support kit . tires 35/13 1/2" tuck not lifted more than 4". help please . are the bolts heat teated steel?

Asked by: Mitch Maxson - 8/18/2019

A: Anytime the pitman arm bolt breaks, it's from binding or from being over-torqued. Part of the install process is to check all of the clearances at ride height, full compression, and full extension, lock to lock at all three heights. That's the only way to make sure your steering isn't binding up. When it binds, the tapered bolt will usually be the first thing to break because it's the smallest part of the whole linkage. We machine them from 4340 chromoly annealed which is heat treated prior to machining. It's some of the strongest material on Earth, so if you break one it's an incredible amount of force. A lot of times, people get our steering and just throw it on the truck like it's an OEM linkage from the parts store. You can't do that with heim steering, it has way more adjustability and misalignment, which is awesome when it's setup correctly. If the instructions aren't followed to a T, you will run into issues. We also send out a refresher with any tapered bolts that are ordered, to remind everyone what to check for during install and how to prevent future problems. We're always glad to help out if you have questions, calling our tech line is the fastest way to make sure you have it setup correctly. The bottom line is if the steering is binding up, you need to correct that until it's not binding up, then check the jam nuts after driving a day or two. The jam nuts don't always get torqued to spec and they will back off due to vibration, then the steering will rotate and bind up. When it's all done correctly, this steering is incredibly strong. We've had it on our 2014 Ram 2500 on 37" tires for several years and have four wheeled moderate-rated trails in Colorado and Utah, pulled insanely heavy loads, hot rodded it, etc. The tapered bolts are as strong as they can be, but the taper itself is the smallest part of the whole linkage so that's where the first breakage will normally be, although we have had customers break their pitman arm off the box while our bolts did not break. Steering issues are scary, but replacing a tapered bolt is the cheapest and easiest fix out of all of the things that could break when it starts binding up. Let us know if you need help getting it set up.
