I just ordered some rod ends, spacers, etc from Poly Performance. Give Dave a call and he will help you out.

I am going to use 2" x .250 wall DOM tubing for my links.

Are you currently running spherical bearings?
How long do they last?

I have heard that they would ware fast on a dailly driver, I disagree but have not had the pleasure of making my new arms yet.

What will last good miles around town but also last after repeated weekend flexing? I hate my rubber it just cant handle flexing.

Heim vs the Johnney joint? any comments

subs1000w: Ill email you an excell sheet im starting comparing the different costs and strengths from different suppliers.
