hey im lookin for bushings and brackets for a 4 link. and no im not going with suicide doors stuff on this truck. what im running is 1.25 inch tubing and im looking for a bushing that is proportinate. like the small fbi links or something with small rod ends. does anybody know a part # from like autozone or something for the bushings and i can just cut the tubing? and also where can i get some brackets for those bushings probably like the same bolt size as a 3/4 heim or in that ball park thanks.

check with Gravity Werx, they could have some of their old sized 4link parts still.

Gravity-Werx.com

or SpeedWayMotors.com

Hope that may help.

contact energy suspension there the bet out there..tell them what size tubing your working with and wall size so they know the ID..and they can find u what u need..leaf spring bushings are not the way to go

speedwaymotors.com sells exactly what you want. You will need to buy some 1 1/8 id tubing (pretty sure thats what I used) for the outside (what you weld to the bar) but they work great, I have build a couple with them. I used 1.5 square tubing with .25 wall and have my bags on the bars.

well what is the most common bushing people use to make control arms like mustang 2 arms?

for mustang II since I made my own lowers I used pete and jakes bushings I had laying around. They work well for 1.250" tubing and under

for uppers unless you are making your own upper mount and not using the cross shaft, this has been kinda a headache for me (not having a lathe to bore tubing to fit other bushings is another)
Try calling TCI (total cost involved) they offer "new" upper and lower urethane bushings that they should sell separately.
