Found the parts to buy the complete greasable end links already pre-assembled. Bout $65 for the ends and another $35 for the Inserts. So $100 per bar for adjustables. Could go cheaper by using the stock end rebuild kits but not nearly as stout.

The next question is on the upper bars. Is there any reason for them to be adjustable. All I keep seeing is fixed length bars for the top and they would be cheaper to build.

 

keep the top ones the same length as OEM..........no adjust

 

Thanks Whit, that makes it all easier and cheaper.

 

did you look under yer truck to see this angle I am refering to?

 

Not yet, I'm still pretty non functional at the moment. I'll be installing the new shocks and coil springs sometime here in the next week or so and that's when I'll get a good look at all this and start puttin an actual plan together. I have found some good sources for all the parts and pieces and have it all mapped out in my head, now I just need to see if my plan matches what's on the truck.

 

cool man

 

the only reason for the tops to be adjusted is for extreme driveline angles from lifting. most lifts do not compensate for this. causing extra wear on the u-joints.

 

I would think you should just be able to use DOM tubing, and johnny joints. Maybe some weld in bungs, and be done!! If and when ya get around to building these could ya post up some measurements and parts list to make it easier on the rest of us wanting to do this??

Thanks

Sure thing. I'm also lookin at rubber isolators in the tubing to absorb any shock or vibration, just as an extra measure.

 

got me ta thinkin.......maybe it was the top one thats an inch longer????????????

better check on this
