$110?! I think I'll stick with Coleman racing. How's about $16. There's another canadian co that sells bigger ones for a bit more.

Those are only 5/8 rods ends. They're tiny. Even the ones I'm using for my steering are 3/4. You will need to use 1.25 for the arms and at least 3/4 for the steering ends.

You need to talk to my friend Will. He designs and builds custom truck suspensions.
I know he is working on a number of fab kits for trucks. |
Who does Will work for?

1.25! Crazy, I think that is overkill. Especially for the uppers. I could see doing it for the lowers. Guaranteed I can still find them for less than half that.
Half of that stuff I would find used or online cheap. I'm not paying $2K for coilovers. That's when you go to the Pomona swap meet and pick up a set off the guy parting out his long travel Silverado to pay off his bail money. But yeah, I think I'll hang on to my boat for now. |
Did you forget how much I paid for my boat?! My dirtbike? My Vette? It only gets better.

Yeah that took me all of 30 seconds to find. 1.25" $47, speedway motors. That was the other place I was thinking about. TT from CF buys stuff from there.

If only two of my best friends were engineer I would have access to that info... Haha. I would go stout on the lowers, but think about it, how much force it really on the uppers in comparison? The weight of the vehicle plus all of its inertia is pushing down on the control arm between the spring mount and the spindle, but the only force I can think of on the upper arm is the top of the spindle tending to pull it out, that can't be all that much force. The upper arm seems to be more of a geometry guide than anything.
