I've actually been pricing tube benders and I'm getting close to buying one too.

omz · 10-07-2008, 11:38 PM

kinda hard

wheres that one doo-hickey go??

I'm not going to say no, but make sure you know what your getting into. then go for it and make it as BA as possible!

Don't spend $1150 bucks for a 4 link

pricing,btw that kit was like $900 bucks awhile back

You can get creeper joints from trail gear and they come with a jam nut for $35.00 bucks a piece and i guess auggie can get u a 20% discount. The threaded bungs u can get at speedway motors. Now supposebly a place called funk machine in lincoln(other members on here told me this haven't had time to check it out) can get u DOM for your links DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING HREW FOR THOSE!!!!!!!! U probadly already know that. Now DIY4x4 has nice multihole brackets for like $22.00 Bucks a pair plus they have tabs and all sorts of fab parts. U can get springs thru speedway motors or total performance here in omaha for coilovers. For coilovers it whatever u decide. Hope this helps u save some $

anyway after tommarro I will have ordered (hopefully) all the brackets and joints that I'll need. the dom I will be getting through work for 8-9 bucks a foot. unless someone else knows a place I can get it cheaper
