Im currently have been conteplating on building some long bars for my truck and needed some recogmendations... they will be from the rear end to just behind the u joint of the trans( thats my plan anyhow)

I was wondering should i use 5/8 rod ends like most standard ladderbars or 3/4 sinces it is gonna be pickin up alot of wight..

On the tubing i was planning to use DOM 1-1/4 OD .200Wall thickness , would this be ok to use , it will have 3 cross braces in it for strength.. The only thing im concerned about on this is if i use the 3/4 rod end it wont leave ahole lot of room for a sleeve for the rod end bung...

Suggestions are good

 

I've read their more trouble then their worth. Basically you got to copy a setup that work to make it worth it.. Caltrac or just find sOnething that works best.

 

I got caltracs but wanna go the next step, esp since im gonna be coming off transbrak.

Well i was gonna take the same design of the ones that comp enginerring make and jus make them longer.. i can make jigs at work so they're both the exact same..

i have also concidered doing a setup like a 4 link but longer but im affraid the bars might bend being that there longer...

I like the long 4 link idea seeing that they will be easier to make but idk just tossing ideas around 4 now.. but def wanna do something diff.
