    I'm using a set of the "deep drop" on my Model A build and had a couple of questions.

    1) What tie rods to you guys use?
    2) Do the arms have to be reemed if I need to use tapered tie rods?
     
  2. the CE dropped steering arms , both the regular drop and deep drop , use old ford (35-48) tie rod ends and are tapered for them to install in the bottom of the arms . FYI , the taper is 1-1/2" per foot

    for a tie rod, both CE and pete & jake's sells them in many different lengths..or you could do as i do and make them from 7/8" OD DOM tubing. all you need is a lathe and 11/16-18 thread left and right taps
