I was going to use some 1.5" DOM with a .25 side wall. Who has taped this out before? I was thinking of using a 1 1/8" tap and using a threaded stud on a rubican joint. Any ideas if that would work well?
Thanks
Phil
It will work I do it all the time. I also use an impact gun on low and realy slow to run the tap through the tube once its drilled to the correct size.
but on another topic, 1.5 .250 wall isn't real strong if it's being used for lower links. take a step or two up in either diameter or wall thickness. If you really want a 1" ID, how about 1.75 with 3/8 wall, or even 2" with .5 wall?
Hes got a point. When I use 1.5 x .25 wall its on street trucks with air suspensions. Its a lot different when rocks are in the mix.
