aquala rod end Help

Im pretty sure I have an aquala forged double arm but I don't know what rod end I need for the bottom hole (knuckle to knuckle) link, anybody know? is it an fj80 or fj60? the fj40 end I have is to small. rough size of one side of the taper is .625 and other side is .595 assuming of course can read calipers.

i have always wanted to scan the FabTech catalog but i was always to lazy too ,thanks to you i now have it scanned do you have any of their other stuff like there cut-n turned housing or heavy duty tierods? here is a scan from there catalog looks like it used stock stuff, the arm may be from aqualu also i think they may have been affiliated at one time for a short period of time . i don't no the history between the two companies but they both made body tubs ,aqualu aluminum ,fabtec steel and both located in Kelowna ??????????

check out the pic of steel tub also FabTechs tailgate

Ok I changed the title because now I need help with rod ends. I found that the tie rod end on the arm is an fj80. I am going to get a new tie rod from budbuilt but Im not sure if I want to do fj80 TRE on each end? What you would do? Anybody know the shank dimension on a stock fj40 TRE, 17mm,19mm,21mm, or 23mm?

The choices are fj80 TREs on both side, from what I can figure this will cost an additional 100 bucks +- tax. The upside is I will have a reamer.

any thoughts, info on TRE dimension?

This thread has been great thanks.

Thanks,
