Got a little more done tonight.
Kinda had to back up alittle. Heim ends were 3/4" and the bolts were 5/8 so I had to make some .058 bushings.

I gotta ask. Does it worry you that only 2 bolts hold your rear suspension together? I know ladder bars have been around for a long time but still it has got to make you think twice.

Only two bolts in leaf springs. Lol the front heim is the only thing that worries me. I've got some safety straps ordered in case the front heim did break.
