swedged tubes range from 9 to 19 a piece depending on lengthhttp://www.daymotorsports.com/product/356/c/S32/

3/4 heim end 11.99 a peice http://www.daymotorsports.com/product/353/c/S32/

you can get this from any dirt track catalog..it works its functional and personaly i dont give a **** what it looks like as long as it works im happy with it...get some scrap metel from any junkyard and make some brackets...and those swedged tubes are stronger than they look..imca modified, late models and other sorts of circle track cars use these for their 4 link/z link rear end set ups..

I built a ladder bar for my truck and have had good results. Way more work than other designs, but it is optimized. Here's the link

I know this is an old thread, but wouldn't something like this work for some longbars? they're for a 4-link, but pretty cheap and just weld em on
