Oh you got me! Problem is, it's in CS and I haven't had time to get it, and someone tried driving it and now it doesn't start.

JB this is what I would do for steering. you would just need to get the knuckles and pitman arm reamed out to 1 ton taper.

What about those TRE inserts ruffstuff has? Are they okay to use or should those be avoided if you're upgrading?

I would only use those inserts if I was on a real tight budget, what happens if those become loose?

How? They have a lip to keep them from going all the way through and the nut on the TRE will keep them from coming out the other way.
I guess it really shouldn't cost much more than those inserts to get the knuckles reamed if you take them off and to a machine shop or find someone who has a reamer though.

pretty sure I have a reamer somewhere. I purchased one after Vilas ****ed up my 60 knuckles after I took them to be reamed
I am not keeping the 30 though.

What I did for my steering for a cheap fix and held up great until i blew the motor, was i took the tie rod and slid a piece of schedule 40 pipe over the whole thing and welded it to both ends. That seemed to help a lot and was cheap. Before that it seemed like i would put a kink the steering every trip. A trail fix that i learned at trees was to pull the steering loose, straighten as much as possible, pull one end free and slide the handle of your high lift over it and reassemble
