I picked up some discarded links from someone else's old rig, some of which I'll be able to use. Lowers, uppers, track bars....all front and rear, and a tie rod and drag link. One track bar and one upper arm are bent, but the joints are all good. The lowers are chromo with 1.25x1" rod ends. Two are 23" long and two are 25" long. I'll use the 25" ones for the front lowers which will work just right for my setup. In the rear I'll use the 1.25" rod ends and make new links using 2" .250 wall sleeved with 1.5" .120 wall. I haven't decided on length yet, probably something in the 38-40" range.
All of the upper links I got use 3/4" rod ends, and all the ends are in good condition. I'll use one for the front, where I'm comfortable with one link using 3/4" ends, but I don't know about the rear. I'm thinking I don't want a single upper rear arm with 3/4" rod ends, so at this point I'm planning to make a link using 7/8" ends, which I can make from the 1.5" .120 wall DOM that will be used on much of the cage. Still thinking about the design of the rear 3 link........
