Do you have a web page with this information on the arms?  I'm unable to e-mail parts mike.   This would only be for research because at $450 I'll rather make my own.
Thanks for the info on the tie rod and drag link.  However I plan on going with an 85 Blazer steering set up.  That's why I want to know the difference (if any) between the Jeep and Chevy drag link and tie rod ends.  I'll also be shorting the bars to fit the custom width of my axle.  
About the tie rod and drag link.  Do you have the taps or did you parts this out?  It looks like I need a 7/8 tap fine thread (18).  The right side cost $21 and the left side cost $99 (prices form www.Goodson.com)
