i plan on building ladder bars but i guess u can just relate them to control arms. i plan on using QA1 rod ends on the frame end- i was looking at using the PCMR10-12 or the XMR10-12 which both have 3/4" threaded ends. wi them i plan on using INDEPENDENT 4X threaded tube inserts that fit the heims and the insert go into any 1" I.D. D.O.M. TUBING. i plan on makeing them 40" overall length. at the axle end i will a set "univeral" bushing. when i go offroading i go all out make it or break it so i want ladder bars that can take some serious ABUSE. i plan on chromemoly of course!!
so i guess my real questions are:
should i use box tube or round tube?
since i want the I.D. to be 1" what outside diameter would i want?
how prone to bending would this be? I WANT STRENGTH
things to consider is that the ladder bars would both act as the upper and lower control arms and will be one setup, with of course cross braces
another thing to consider is the length of the ladder bars as the stress that will be placed on them so i want some material that won't be to easy to bend while bashing around on rocks and imports haha.
Thanks.
