i am fixing to build a 3-link mid-arm front suspension on the xj. should i use round tubing and sleeve it or use square tubing? ---BRIAN

Both work quite well, it just depends on what you like. I've done both and had good luck with both. You don't necessarily need to sleeve the round either, just get some thick wall DOM.

i am thinking square because i can get it here locally but not sure!

More important then shape is thickness and alloy.:flipoff2:

Box tube looks hack, DOM round tube is best. We will tell you its best and I bet you still use box tube.

Been running square .250 wall for years and it's been just fine for me. It's just the usual Claytons hack stuff.

anybody else interested in seeing somebody make triangular tubing?

how about pentagon?

how about pentagon?

nope, just triangular

Now if you had triangular, would you run the flat side down or the point down?

point side down, less area to get hung up on

True, but it would also "hang" lower than being flat side down.

I really hope it's obvious that I'm not serious about anything to do with this triangular tubing thing.
