For that small of a purchase, your best bet would be to order from a fab shop online. I have priced out DOM that size before from local steel shops and they always wanted more than what I could get it for online because the amount I wanted was so small.
Some of the online fab shops order in such bulk amounts, they can sell for a discounted rate compared to your local steel shops.
I believe Ballistic Fab sells DOM... There are a few others, but I'm dealing with a brain lock right now.

poly performance also sells it by the foot, $13/foot, BEFORE shipping...

Yep, and Ballistic wants $14/foot. OUCH!!!
Luckily you aren't building a cage here
If you're building a 3 link, you're going to need around 12-13 feet, so you can see how much this will cost you online.
I get all my steel from Palomo's Steel in Long Beach. They have the best prices I have seen and I've been going to them for years. Give them a call tomorrow to get a quote for what you need as a comparison.

awesome, thanks waxer, i'll give them a try next time as well.
if you have the liquid capitol, you could allways buy a full stick, and sell off what you dont use, it probably wont sell quickly, but im sure you could flip the cutoff if you have enough of it.

I wouldn't use 1.75" OD 0.250" wall DOM for the lowers if that what your plan is.
I only have a few runs on my front and they have a slight curve in them (nothing worth replacing, just worth noting, about 1/8" over ~36") they are 1.75" OD 0.375" wall DOM.
My rear 2" OD 0.375" wall DOM lowers are holding up much better. When I redo the front ones, they'll be made from the same as the rear.

The 3 link will be a mid arm, in the 20" range.1.75 x.250 will be plenty strong.thanks again everyone.

Industrial Metal Supply in Riverside (on main street) has a remnant bin that is usually well stocked. I think they charge $.65/pound.

I love the remnant's area! Palomo's also has one. You can find some awesome deals in those. If you pay with cash at Palomo's, you get HUGE discounts on the remnants stuff. I'm talking 20' of 1" square tube .90 wall for 5 bucks!! No rust.. still looks new.
