I been reviewing the different front long arm systems out there as well as the ones that have been fabed here and come to the preliminary conclussion that the TNT system seems to be a good design for me and can be more simple to emulate and fab then 3 link w/trackbar system like some of the customs ones here.
Now my question is whats the opinion of those here on, if 1-3/4" x .120 DOM is thick enough for a radius lower link that will be slightly bent similier to the TNT lowers. then second if not DOM then should I or would it really even matter if I did 4130?
Reason for such a large size is that I am looking to run the teraflex moster joints
and they come in a 1-1/4 thread so that means with the insert it is a 1-1/2ID tube that it would fit inside of. I am only doing these at the frame/crossmember end and then doing a 2.5" currie or similier smaller end that will require a smaller tube.
So then comes the idea of only doing a say 10" length of 1-3/4x.120 then slipping a 1-1/2 x .25 into that and then running that out the rest of the way to the axle and having the bend in that piece.
any thoughts?
Oh and I would run the full TNT system but since all the crossmemeber bolts have been snapped off and theres no longer any threaded holes on the uni-rails and theres thier stiffners now there I am just going to have to fab a crossmember / skid anyways, so why not do the entire setup....
