I'll have to cut one open to determine the ID... but for the innerds of the rear LCA... I'm not sure Lowe's carries that size stock... for the tie rod the stock is perfect... I'll go home and take a pic of the stock that is waiting for my tie rod... I've already added it to the steering relay rod. but the relay rod requires some guesstimating and cutting of the stock since it's shorter. I'll draw up a ms paint of it.

never hammered in to the LCA's... we're now discussing two things and it's getting corn-fussing.... i hammered stock into the tie-rod up front...
BUTT... putting solid stock into the rear LCA's would be beef... and i do plan on doing that as well as sleeving the outer... I've gone through a handful of LCA's as well as driveshafts, as well as tie rods and relay rods...

here's the stock for the front tie/relay rods...
3/4" rod at 3' per rod at lowes
This shows how much was removed for the front steering rod. the rear rod will take up the entire 3ft of the rod uncut... done it to all my 80's and a few others that like to save money.

LOL! Hey Tom, I think it is what it says it is... The tag on the rod says it's welding rod... albeit not the typical welding rod that welders would use.... but welding rod none-the-less.
at the risk of actually talking about tech, I have noticed how beat up Deb's rear control arms are.
Is this an option?

Yes.
Eric, is it a good option for DMD?
The lowers? I wouldn't shell out $300 for something that'll get bent the first time out.... They will get bent no matter what you make them out of. I'd sleeve the current ones... surely someone welds over there.
If I were to buy some i would get these from Wild west offroad.
Here is a review (100 series) i didn't read but i like the cooler test pics.

If i were to going to, i would as well... If i don't move mine up, then I'm making some bent like this.... since they'll get this way if i don't
