That one is a little different then a bump steer kit for our cars.
That one has bolts to move the heim location, the bump steer kit has spacers.

I put the bump steer kit on mine. Will set it up correctly when I get to rebuilding the front end. Didn't notce any difference right after install.

I bought the sweged tubes from afco and the heim joints from a friend that owns a chassis shop in Deleware that is an FK dealer. there are a bunch of different grades of FK rod ends he soldmethe super duty pieces along with the seals it stuff. I am sure there are plenty of good vendors for these. Stock car products and speedway motors comes to mind off the top of my head.

And is 3/4" your talking about the threaded diameter in the rod ends or hole in the heim joints?
