: Selection.......The best!

I get calls all day from people looking for ideas on how to do something. Our Selection, Thickness, & Price keeps 'em coming back for more. And not a silly selection made from every scrap we can find either! A usuable selection. Why would someone need 100+ variations of the same bracket?

All of our Link Tabs are 3/8" thick and allow you to build it and forget it. The different profiles & lengths can fit up on just about anything too! Mix and match for any angle easily, shave an edge and adjust a few degrees in a second......And priced fairly to begin with, no sale needed! And these are actually big enough to feel confident in using, note the hole, it is 9/16", compare this to the others you see advertised and tell me how confiident you would be using ours! Our Link tabs are also big enough to use even EVO joints, we don't make them so small that you can only use a 5/8" heim with them. We call those Shock tabs!

But when you order don't forget the discount of 10% when you use the PBB10 code!

The easiest and least expensive way to build an incredibally strong (3/8" thick) Link Suspension......use your imagination!

Gravel Maker
10-07-2007, 11:42 PM
And if you aren't sure of which you need you can get a "set" for $23, a set is 2 of each length so you can mix and match for best angles......

Gravel Maker

These are THE way to save money on your build and you never have to wonder if they are strong enough!

Crossmembers, Trusses, Motor Mounts, Rockwells.......Always nice to have a flat edge tab or one made to mount on a corner that you can trust to take some abuse......

Gravel Maker

We have always believed options are what makes anything better, however, we don't give you the option of weaker. We only make these from 3/8" material and in only 5 different profiles and 3 different heights for each profile. If they are all the same length how do you make a 10 degree angle, you take out the grinder and give yourself some time, not with these! We continue to strive to offer the best choices for your suspension needs at the best price.......A set of 6 (2 of each height, 1 profile) is $23 before the PBB10 discount........

These link tabs are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smokin:

I just used a set to make new lower control arm brackets and another set to make shock mounts on a TJ. I now have a Very Happy Customer who isn't likely to bend his control arm mounts anymore.

Thanks Dan for making me look good.

I have to admit I've looked at these on your website a bunch of times and never thought the triangle based ones work like this. I need the space atop the truss for the ram and the frame style mount you have gave me limited vertical separation is this application. These little babies gave me the best of both worlds. They take up less space atop the truss(for my toy axle)they have more surface area to weld to and they sit higher for more separation as well. I'll get these welded up and post pics later.
Thanks again.

You can mess around with little tabs and that is a very good way to become a better welder too because down the road you will get more welding practice when you get to do it again!

These are not expensive, but they aren't cheap if you get my meaning......:smokin:

They were designed to fit even the largest of Joints available (EVO's) but they clear every joint by a minimum of 1/8" (all the can type joints). Don't buy on price if you can only use little toy heims with them. Someday you will want to upgrade to better, longer lasting joints and you don't want to have to build everything over again do you?

Gravel Maker

Gravel Maker

some of these better than the brackets. It is simply easier to set them up and if you need to modify them it only takes a second!

Gravel Maker
02-19-2008, 09:22 PM
By the come on price some companies use, you know, $3.99 each!

The line goes:


$2.99 if you want them paper thin!

$3.99 if you want tin foil!

$4.99 for cardboard!

And on and on........


We only make them thick enough to last, as long as you have them! The right size and the right price!

Gravel Maker
03-01-2008, 09:47 PM
to build it strong, rather than barely strong enough.....

If you have a Trophy Truck budget and can rebuild between races go ahead and use the lite stuff, it will likely last awhile, however if you are like the rest of us build it to last! And build it only the first time, if there is a second time you did something wrong the first time!

If our 3/8" tabs would work with a joint 3" wide? The answer.....They fit all joints made, plug and play!
