Yep, right now the limiting factor on my suspension travel is the bind at the rack end of the tie rods. I'm losing about 1.5 inches of suspension droop to it. I was thinking about the clevis and heim set-up in terms of the stock tie rod and think one would be better off getting a new tie rod that's drilled and tapped for left and right hand threads for male rod ends. You could also then get away from using the 12 mm dia. hardware the stock setup needs. Pretty sure Grainger has pre threaded (SAE) rods in their catalog. the clevis can be made easily enough by doing some cutting and welding on the stock "socket".
